Psychotherapy
With our psychotherapists and counselling psychologists
Setbacks and hurt are part of being human. Everyone has moments of feeling low, or worn thin. Some things are hard to say out loud; some thoughts won't untangle on their own — but you don't have to sort through them alone. Someone is ready to listen, closely.
Psychotherapy is an open, safe, person-centred space to talk. It's in no rush to 'fix' you — it gives you room to understand what you're going through, and what it means for you.
Change through understanding — bringing quiet order to what feels tangled inside, and, with your therapist, creating something that genuinely means something.
You don't come to therapy because something is 'wrong' with you. You come because you deserve to be truly understood.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Low moods that keep coming back
You've told yourself 'I'm fine,' but the feeling won't lift.
Strain or conflict in your relationships
With a partner, family or colleagues — talking just keeps feeling hard.
A past that still reaches you
Some wounds look healed on the surface, yet still ache from time to time.
Feeling adrift after a big change
Emigration, a new job, loss, separation… you need a safe space to make sense of it.
Long-running stress and burnout
You've kept everything propped up, and it's getting harder to hold.
A wish to know yourself more deeply
Nothing has to be 'wrong' — you just want to live more freely, more truthfully.
These feelings are real, and they deserve to be taken seriously.
Psychotherapy may suit you if you
- are mostly managing life, but feel stuck, lost or empty
- are working through identity, relationships, life transitions or questions of meaning
- want room to explore, rather than have your experience pressed into a clinical frame
- want to be understood — not just assessed or labelled

It's the public document that governs every psychological service at TreeholeHK — setting out, in writing, your rights and the commitments we make to you. Every practitioner you meet is bound by it.
Meet our psychotherapists
What shapes the outcome of therapy is the kind of person sitting across from you.
Drawing on the research, TreeholeHK distilled three criteria — and we hold every psychotherapist we work with to all of them.
You can count on our psychotherapists to be genuine, deeply knowledgeable, and skilful in just the right measure.
What sets TreeholeHK psychotherapy apart
- Person-centred and humane — your experience is the starting point, not your symptoms
- Relationship-led — change usually happens in the act of understanding and being understood
- In no rush to define — we won't reduce you to 'a kind of problem'
Genuineness
Your psychotherapist meets you as their real self, honest about what they do and don't know — because we believe only a genuine person can kindle the courage to live genuinely and grow beyond who you've been.

Depth of knowledge
We expect our psychotherapists to understand psychology and counselling theory deeply, and to bring it together fluently — shaping the direction of therapy around your concerns and needs. That's how you come to understand yourself more deeply and make real change.

The right measure of skill
Comfort and mutual trust are what let therapy begin at all. So a therapist needs real skill in guiding the work — helping you speak openly in a safe, honest space.

Every practitioner you sit down with has passed our published selection criteria — all three dimensions met, or no invitation to join. Most applicants don't make it.
These criteria come straight from our Code of Psychological Service Practice: you have every right to know how the person across from you was chosen.
What happens after you book?
Get to know your psychotherapist
Each psychotherapist's background, focus areas, and how they see this work. Choose based on your situation and what feels right.
Pick a time
Choose a slot that works for you — in person or online over Zoom.
Pre-session questionnaire
On your first booking we'll ask you to fill in a short questionnaire: how you're doing, what you'd like to work on, and a few safety questions. It helps your therapist understand you before you meet.
Start your sessions
Sessions are 50 minutes. In the first, your psychotherapist works with you to clarify what you'd like to address and the broad direction — not to decide it for you.
FAQ
Changing or cancelling a booking
Every booking must be confirmed at least 48 hours before the session; new bookings and changes aren't accepted inside 48 hours. You can review or change your booking here — for anything else, email info@treehole.hk or call 9417 9844 during office hours.
Rescheduling and lateness: a confirmed booking means we've set that time aside for you. To change it, please do so here at least 48 hours before your appointment.
If you don't give notice at least 48 hours ahead, or miss the session without any notice, the full session fee still applies.
If you arrive late, the session runs for the time that's left, with no extension; arriving more than thirty minutes late is treated as forfeiting the session, and the fee isn't refunded.
Do you offer couples, two-person or family sessions?
We don't offer family sessions yet, but we're working on adding more types of service. If there's something you'd like us to offer, email info@treehole.hk.
We don't currently offer couples or two-person counselling directly — but you can book two consecutive psychotherapy sessions with Fion Leung, Yanni Ip, Wai Law, Eddy To or Winnie Wong. Please book the two back-to-back slots together in one go (e.g. 13:00 and 14:00), and note in the remarks that it's a two-person session and your relationship. Thank you.
Can I ask for a specific therapeutic approach?
Your psychotherapist will choose the approach that fits best after meeting you and getting an initial sense of where you're at.
I'm not in distress, but I'd like someone to talk to and a chance to explore myself — is psychotherapy right for me?
If what you're after is to understand yourself over the long run and get guidance to grow — rather than working through a specific difficulty — ForestGuide coaching might be the better fit.
But if you're carrying difficulties that already affect, or could affect, daily life, we'd point you toward psychotherapy or clinical psychology.
Do you offer psychotherapy services in English?
Yes. Please check that the psychotherapist you've chosen offers sessions in English, then note your language preference in the remarks when you confirm a booking.
Who can see the information I give when I book?
Only your psychotherapist and the staff needed to handle your booking — all bound by the confidentiality commitments in the Code of Psychological Service Practice. You can ask to see or update your information at any time.
