📘 新書分享｜《一念間》

非常感謝 萬里機構 wanlibk.com 的信任，今年與一班同事合作出版了《一念間》，探討一個嚴肅而重要的主題 —— 生與死的掙扎與選擇。

書中記錄了十個有血有肉、真實動人的故事。

作為一名輔導心理學家，當我重拾這些片段去書寫時，也不時被自己與個案之間的互動深深觸動。那些眼神、沉默、淚水與連結，從未離開過我。

希望這本書能讓社會更理解那種在絕望邊緣的掙扎，也更懂得如何擁抱生命、擁抱彼此。

📖 請大家多多支持，願更多人看見、聽見這些珍貴的聲音。
📘 New Book Release｜”In the Blink of a Thought”

This year, I had the honour of collaborating with a group of colleagues to publish “In the Blink of a Thought” — a book that explores a profound and difficult theme: the struggle and choices between life and death.

It brings together ten deeply personal and emotionally resonant true stories.

As a counselling psychologist, revisiting these moments for writing was an incredibly moving experience. The looks, the silences, the tears, and the connections I shared with clients have stayed with me.

I hope this book offers society a deeper understanding of what it means to stand at the edge of despair — and how we might better hold space for life, for one another, and for ourselves.

📖 Thank you for your support. May more people come to see and hear these precious voices.

🌱 Just wrapped up my first presentation at the British Psychological Society’s Division of Counselling Psychology Annual Conference in Bristol🇬🇧! I was proud to share our collaborative work — with Joe, Helen , and Shirley — and bring some of the Hong Kong counselling psychology journey to a wider audience 🧠

I was a bit nervous (especially after our session got extended from 30 to 60 mins last week 😅), but it ended up lasting 90 mins with rich and meaningful discussion. We explored professional identity, language, justice, and how research can help reclaim what counts as knowledge — especially when it reflects lived experience and cultural context.

I also got to meet some amazing new friends — and was especially happy to connect with a few Hong Kongers or Asians who are trained and practicing as counselling psychologists here in the UK. It was such a joy to build that sense of shared identity and start imagining future collaborations together😊

The session even sparked interest in forming a new group focused on decolonising counselling psychology. One participant told me they were amazed by the level of public outreach in Hong Kong — from TV and radio to YouTube and self-help books — and felt there was so much we could all learn from each other 😇

Truly grateful for the conversations, connections, and community💬 I’ll be bringing all these insights back to our beloved team in Hong Kong ✨

Something about last week. It was my first time presenting my PhD research at a conference, and it also happened to be my first conference outside of Asia, and my first one in Europe🌍

It was a total rollercoaster of nerves and excitement, but I’m so glad I did it. My talk was on the second day, which gave me some time to observe, learn, and tweak a few things before getting up there.

Really grateful for all the support from my friends, and a big shoutout to for introducing me to the committee and so many amazing researchers. The feedback I got was super encouraging — definitely a confidence boost!

Feeling inspired and ready for whatever comes next✨📚💪

The moment I stepped off the train, I was hit by a wave of excitement and joy. After a hectic stretch at work, I can finally pause, breathe, and refocus on my PhD research.

There’s something about this city, and the people here, that truly energises me. I’ve missed the intellectual conversations, the shared curiosity, and the sense of connection that keeps me inspired.

One thing I’ve noticed this time around: Edinburgh in summer is so alive compared to when I came here in winter. It’s like the city is blooming with energy, and I’m so here for it 🌳🌿📚✨

非常認同朱國強議員的建議👍🏼

【支援前線教師 倡輔導員入校】
//身兼小學校長及教育界立法會議員的朱國強認為， #教師陽光專線 推出多年，宣傳不足，教師未必知道，倡 #輔導員 入校為師生提供支援。

朱國強稱，一直提倡輔導員入校，支援師生紓緩壓力及情緒問題；他稱，現時小學教師工作壓力比以往大，工作量增加、家長投訴、處理學生問題遇灰色地帶，都會增加壓力。//

【證書課程】守護兒童專員培訓計劃2025 ❗ 把握機會報名，名額有限，先到先得

07/05/2025

一得知有機會參與lobbying工作，即使在繁忙的工作日程中，我也會毫不猶豫地投入其中。

這次的原因在於，儘管香港的制度看似完善，我們發現仍然缺乏對輔導行業（Counselling）的法定監管與認證。上個月，我們親眼目睹了一位心理輔導員（Counsellor）因專業失德而仍繼續執業，而市面上仍然有不少未獲專業認證人士，有意或無意以為自己擁有專業資格或資歷為他人進行心理輔導服務。

目前，這些情況對公眾的影響可能尚未顯現，但我們真心希望不會等到出現嚴重後果後，才啟動監管機制。因為心理輔導專業所涉及的風險，若處理不當，甚至可能危及生命，尤其是對於有嚴重精神疾患或自殺風險的個案，錯過及時介入和接受正式心理治療的機會可能帶來致命後果。

我與一群在行業內極具熱誠且富有使命感的同事，已經在這方面堅持工作接近十年，而我們的前輩們更是花了幾十年的心血。每一次的倡導行動，未必都能立刻見到成效，但我們仍然堅持這份工作，因為我們深信輔導的力量，也深切認為香港市民的精神健康至關重要。
