Edward is a U.S.-trained and licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Massachusetts, now bringing his expertise to Hong Kong. With extensive experience across various settings, Edward has helped clients become stronger, more independent, and resilient in the face of challenges. He creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their struggles and engage more fully in life.

Edward’s approach is rooted in “true empathy,” understanding that every behavior makes sense within the context of a client’s experiences. He believes in creating a safe space where honest feedback is offered with kindness, promoting growth while ensuring clients feel supported.

Edward works with teens aged 14 and up and adults, utilising Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Therapy. He guides clients in managing stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, procrastination, and interpersonal issues, while also helping them develop coping skills and motivation. In particular, ACT empowers clients to break free from patterns of needless struggle, guiding them toward actionable paths that lead to a more fulfilling life. His methods are highly effective, often leading to meaningful change in a relatively short time.

In addition to his clinical work, Edward collaborates closely with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, leading workshops and consultation groups to support local NGOs. This community involvement reflects his commitment to empowering youth and promoting mental well-being in the broader community.

Edward values the courage it takes to engage in therapy and treats every individual with respect and compassion. He sees every opportunity to work with a client as a profound honor and finds great joy in helping others navigate their journey towards a purposeful and connected life.
