Susanna Wong

Culturally attuned and empathetic practitioner

Comfortable working with individuals, couples and groups

Online sessions in English and Cantonese

I am Susanna. I am Hong Kong Chinese. I speak Cantonese, English and have proficiency in Mandarin. Having lived and worked across Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and the UK, I am highly attuned to cultural sensitivity, especially with my counselling practice, in supporting adults and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I am a trained teacher in Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR). My own mindfulness journey began in the UK in 2018. Mindfulness has since become a cornerstone in my counselling practice as well as in my personal life.

Before training as a Therapist, I spent my earlier career in international event management and talent development in the media industry.

I had a sense of wanderlust from an early age, which led me to voluntary community service in Botswana after university and all corners of the globe since then. I am committed to lifelong learning, while cultivating well-being in myself and my clients.
