Welcome to Katy Chau Counselling Services

An integrative approach incorporates various therapies An integrative approach means the counsellor draws upon more than one therapeutic modality to meet specific individual needs.
My practice is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), offering unconditional positive regard, active listening, and congruence to create a safe and empathetic space. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, alongside other modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Psychoanalytic Therapy (PAT), and Transactional Analysis (TA) to support clients on their personal growth journey.

I specialise in supporting individuals facing challenges related to depression, anxiety, bereavement, domestic abuse, self-harm, and neurodivergence, including Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD.

My commitment to mental health extends into mentoring and advocacy. I serve as a Specialist Mentor for neurodivergent youth, a Risk Assessor for survivors of domestic abuse, and has supported vulnerable individuals through a suicide prevention helpline. My experience also includes leading a community resilience project for multicultural groups in Hong Kong, individuals with physical disabilities, and students in SEND schools.  

I am passionate about the connection between mental health, nature, and community. With a background in project management for environmental and social initiatives for 8 years, I integrate mindfulness and eco-awareness into my practice. My personal interests—yoga, hiking, birdwatching, Teaism / tea ceremony, ceramic making, and calligraphy—reflect my belief in the healing power of presence, creativity, and connection with nature.
