Winnie Chiu Psychologist, Psychotherapist — Local services in Hong Kong

Firstly, I was unsure about going to a psychologist for the first time, and I doubted if my anxieties would improve.

But after 5 months, I am free of my anxieties, and even my work colleagues noticed a positive change, so the outcomes were evident.

Winnie is a wonderful therapist, she has all the skills to make you feel comfortable and that started from my first two sessions, it was all about establishing trust and feeling safe enough to share my thoughts and feelings.

Winnie was easy and soothing to talk to and listen to, she would ask different questions to help you see things from a new angle and find out what you don't express; uncovering areas you thought were buried and never felt the need to bring these thoughts to attention.

Before I saw Winnie, I had to get a referral letter from a psychiatrist for my medical claim. I had such a terrible experience that led him to say I have mental problems and I should not see a psychologist. This experience is completely different from what Winnie does as a professional; she never puts me down, judges me, or even makes me feel bad about myself.

Since this is a collaborative process, I obviously had to do most of the groundwork before and after each session. I can sincerely say my eagerness to get better as each session went by has left me with a lasting habit to enjoy meditation regularly as a way of creating positive reinforcement in my life.

One of the anxieties I had was sometimes I would panic inside the MTR or metro trains. I can now say I have no such fear anymore and if I did, I would know how to deal with it from Winnie's guidance.

Lastly, this may seem trivial to some, but Winnie's therapy environment is so serene, spacious, peaceful and clean; I will also miss the scent of her diffuser!

Thank you very much Winnie, I wish you all the best and you will 100% be my first option should I need...

It has been over a year since I have been consulting Winnie and I feel like I have been given a new life. Like most people, I have been through some crisis that became too much to handle by myself. Winnie is incredibly professional and supportive, she identified key areas that needed some work, and although I have to be the one who actually make these changes, and changes are always scary. Winnie is so patient, skillful and respectful. Making changes went from being scary to something possible, to something I look forward to. With focused discussion and exchanges I was able to see things from a balanced point of view, acknowledge my blindspots, untie the knots and heal the wounds. I was able to understand myself and exert my potentials. Apart from myself, my partner and friends are all thankful to what Winnie has done for me. I would highly recommend Winnie if you are going through some lonely and...

Winnie has been the centripetal force of my life for the past seven years and remains very much so. Throughout the journey, she has witnessed my craziest and ugliest. As for me, I have recalled long-abandoned memories before I could apply any brakes, and verbalised my naked thoughts with no facade. What was most gratifying however, was the sacred space Winnie curated and held for me. To this day, that space continues to encourage and empower me to find my own voice. Winnie’s intuitive and inquisitive mindset coupled with her years of experience set her apart from her peers. A reflective, compassionate soul by nature, Winnie is, without a doubt, a God-sent angel. At this juncture, I would only look back with a grin, thankful that our paths have crossed. My heartfelt...
