You don't have to figure
it out alone.
I'm Jared — a counsellor in Central Hong Kong. I help adults, teens, and couples navigate ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, and life's toughest moments — not just cope, but genuinely feel better.
Meet Jared
I'm a counsellor based in Central Hong Kong with a Master's from Monash and a background in education. I work with adults, teens, and couples navigating ADHD, autism and ASD, anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, BPD, and LGBTQ+ challenges.
I'm trained in DBT, ACT, CBT, CBT-i, Schema Therapy, and SPACE from Yale. My approach is warm, inclusive, and built around you — not a textbook.
Sound familiar?
I hear these from clients all the time. You're not alone in feeling this way.
You've tried to just 'push through' but nothing changes
You feel like you're constantly masking or performing for everyone around you
Small tasks feel impossibly overwhelming and you can't explain why
You know something isn't right but you're not sure where to start
If any of that resonates — you're not broken. You might just need the right support.

"I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are — and building from there."

How I Can Help
Every person's different — here's what I specialise in
In Their Own Words
"Thank you for starting me out on this journey and supporting me. You have made a profound difference in my life."
"You have made a huge difference in my son's life. I want to sing your praises. The teachers have also noticed how much he has improved thanks to his time with you."
"I never thought there would be a day where I didn't have panic attacks. You helped me to get to know myself more. I have grown mentally and I got to experience real happiness in life."
"For the first time in my life I feel like someone actually understands how my brain works. Jared doesn't just talk about ADHD — he lives it, and that makes all the difference."
"I was sceptical about group therapy, but the DBT skills group changed everything. Learning alongside other people going through the same thing made me feel so much less alone."
"My teenager and I were barely speaking. After a few sessions with Jared, we're actually communicating again. He has a way of making both sides feel heard."
"I came in for anxiety and ended up discovering so much more about myself. Jared creates this space where you feel safe enough to be honest — even about the hard stuff."
"As an expat in Hong Kong, finding a therapist who gets the unique pressures we face was everything. Jared understood immediately without me having to over-explain."
Why Work With Me
I Get It Personally
I've lived with ADHD my whole life. I don't just understand it from textbooks — I understand it from the inside. That personal experience shapes how I work with every client who walks through my door.
DBT Specialist
I deliver comprehensive DBT across all four modules — Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Not just techniques borrowed from DBT, but the full evidence-based programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you're asking the question, it probably is. Therapy isn't just for crises — it's for anyone who wants to understand themselves better, build skills, or work through something that feels stuck. Read more: Do I need therapy? →
We'll talk about what brought you in, what you're hoping for, and whether we're a good fit. It's relaxed, no pressure — think of it as a conversation, not an assessment. Read more: What to expect →
Yes. I offer both in-person sessions at my Central HK office and online sessions via Zoom. Many clients do a mix of both.
