Starting therapy is a big step and a meaningful act of care for yourself. It takes courage to slow down, take a breath, and give yourself the space to reflect in a world that often tells you to just keep going.

As Vincent van Gogh once said, “If you hear a voice within you say, ‘You cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”

When life feels heavy or uncertain, therapy is a space where you can slow down and make sense of what feels difficult. It’s a time to understand yourself more clearly and explore what matters to you. Along the way, we’ll also learn to notice that inner voice of doubt or pressure and respond to it with curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with your strengths and grow toward the life you want to live.

If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to book a session. Sometimes taking one small step toward support can make a real difference.

Hi, I’m Rachel (I also go by Sin Man, if you'd prefer that). I’m a therapist who believes in creating a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, talk things through, and feel genuinely heard with warmth. My work is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), while also integrating complementary elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, these approaches help us explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours connect, and support you in moving toward what truly matters with greater flexibility and self-compassion.

Having lived across cultures, I understand how change and transition can shape the way we see ourselves and express our emotions. This experience helps me bring openness and sensitivity to every session, creating a space where you can feel understood and accepted.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment challenges, or simply unsure about the next step in life. Some come to therapy to find calm, others to understand themselves better or make changes that feel hard to do alone. My role is to walk beside you, to listen, ask gentle questions, and offer tools that make things feel clearer and more manageable.

Outside of work, I’m someone who enjoys quiet, creative moments, designing digital planners, writing, and making small animations as a form of self-care. I love cozy evenings with my family, hot tea on cold days, and time spent reading or reflecting.

I offer sessions in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin to help clients feel supported in the language that feels most natural to them.
