Your Pathway to Wellness

What is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy to help process trauma and emotional distress effectively.

Hi! I’m Jen, a Trauma & Relationship Therapist

Are You Experiencing Any of the Following?

  • Feeling overwhelmed by triggers in everyday situations

  • Experiencing emotional shutdown or intense outbursts that feel difficult to control

  • Struggling to trust or connect deeply, even with those closest to you

  • Getting caught in repetitive conflict cycles, where small disagreements quickly escalate

  • Living with avoidance, anxiety, or hypervigilance that leaves you emotionally drained

To support meaningful healing, it’s important to understand both the individual nervous system and the relationships it exists within. Unresolved trauma can place strain on relationships, while ongoing relationship distress can deepen personal wounds. My dual focus on trauma therapy and couples therapy is designed to help break this cycle.

You deserve more than survival you deserve to thrive.
When you’re ready, let’s begin.

Finding My Way to This Work

My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in a twenty-year journey across cultures and professions—from business and healthcare in South Africa to building a life and family in Hong Kong over the past 17 years. As an expat and parent, I understand firsthand the complexities of the "third culture" experience and the unique pressures that come with building a home and family across transitions.

My practice is guided by a core belief: our need for connection is central, yet past experiences can make it difficult. I specialize in both trauma and couples counselling because I see them as deeply linked. Personal healing fosters healthier relationships, and secure relationships fuel personal healing. This integrated view informs all my work.

This insight led me to pursue my Masters in Counselling , transforming my curiosity about people's stories into a dedicated practice of support.
