Vickie has worked in hospital and social service settings and over the past decade has developed particular expertise in workplace counselling and employee assistance program environments.
Vickie draws on family-based and humanistic ideas grounded in family therapy traditions such as the Satir model, alongside practical approaches to help people access their inner resources and build coping skills. She offers therapy in English, Cantonese and Mandarin and welcomes clients seeking support with relationships, parenting, career questions, grief, identity and other life challenges. Vickie works collaboratively with clients to explore strengths, restore connection and develop realistic strategies for change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and emphasizes empathy, acceptance and active listening. It helps people gain self-awareness, build confidence and work through personal or relational concerns by strengthening their own problem-solving resources.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood issues, stress and unhelpful patterns by practising new skills and testing different ways of thinking.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps partners and families understand and shift patterns of emotional response to improve connection and resolve relationship distress. It is useful for restoring trust, addressing attachment-related issues and deepening emotional bonds.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vickie will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She partners with clients to tailor sessions and adjust techniques as progress unfolds.
Online work with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
