Dr. Melissa Chan is a UK trained Clinical Psychologist currently based in Hong Kong. She has worked in the field of mental health taking up clinical and research roles in the community and academic settings for ten years. She is experienced in treating adults with symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders, who specialises in working with people who are highly self-critical and have highly sensitive traits (HSP). She also works with people who are struggling with low self-esteem, constant work stress, grief and bereavement, adjustment difficulties (e.g. relocation, aging, physical illness diagnosis) and those affected by childhood emotional wounds. She works with adults age 18 or above.

Worked with adults who have highly sensitive traits, or parents who wish to have consultation for their children (NB: I do not work directly with children)

A Highly Sensitive Person and an Expressive Arts Therapist (IDEC®).

I work with children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in schools, offer one-on-one therapy sessions to both adults and children in private studios or by home-visit, and organize workshops and training for carers and teachers to support the mental health development of Highly Sensitive Children. Tailor-made Expressive Arts Therapy groups and individual sessions for HSPs are provided.

As an HSP myself, in my early years, without recognizing and taking good care of the highly sensitive trait, I experienced how challenging life could be. However, rediscovering my sensitivity has led to tremendous positive changes. The possibilities that followed did not overwhelm me but grounded me with hopes instead. Thus, I am dedicated to raising awareness of the highly sensitive trait in Hong Kong by organizing workshops for carers of Highly Sensitive Children and designing programs to support the mental health and well-being of these children, with the hope that more of them will receive the care they need and that their sensitivity can become a source of strength and fulfillment.

Specialty areas: High Sensitivity, Special Educational Needs, Social Difficulties, Emotional Disturbances, Stress Management, Bereavement Care and Grief Counselling.
