A space to sit with who you are becoming.
About Me
I’m Mae-lee, a counsellor based in Hong Kong, working with adults and adolescents navigating identity, belonging and life transitions. My work is grounded in thoughtful listening and compassionate exploration – supporting you to make sense of your experiences and find steadier ways forward.
Who I Work With
Life in Transition
Life doesn't always give warning before it shifts. A relationship ends, a career changes shape, or a family grows or empties out. For some, this reckoning comes later in life – questioning gender, sexuality, or a long-held sense of self, and finally asking who you are outside the roles you've lived by. This work makes room for that question, at your own pace, without rushing toward an answer.
Adolescents
I work with adolescents finding their way through identity, belonging, and the pressures that come with growing up. Years spent working closely with young people in an educational setting inform how I understand this stage of life – its challenges, and its capacity for change.
Identity & Belonging
For others, questions of belonging began much earlier – shaped by adoption, donor conception, or growing up across cultures, countries, or family structures different from those around you. These experiences can leave you living with unanswered questions about who you are and where you come from, alongside the quiet, ongoing work of building a grounded sense of self.
Session Details
I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, available online and in person in Sheung Wan.
​
Sessions are typically 50 minutes and offer space to slow down, reflect, and explore what feels most alive or challenging. Extended 75-minute sessions are also available when a more spacious pace would be helpful.
Pause
Therapy offers a place to slow down enough to hear yourself more clearly. We make space for what is present — thoughts, feelings, body responses, and questions that may need time and attention before they can be understood.
My Approach
Explore
Through compassionate enquiry, we explore what feels important, tender, or uncertain. Together, we pay attention to the patterns, meanings, emotions, relationships, and ways of coping that may be shaping your experience.
Choose
As patterns become clearer, there is often more room to respond with intention. This work supports you to relate to yourself differently, loosen old ways of coping, and move towards what feels more aligned with who you are becoming.
