Face to face counselling / Home Visit(outreach service)
Face to face counselling is an opportunity for the client to meet with the counsellor one on one in a safe, private and comfortable environment. The counsellor can facilitate the clients to understand their emotion, cognition and behaviour, to explore their own psychological needs, the causes of the distress, and find a strategy to make adjustments and cope with the problems. Our face to face counselling service can be provided with high flexibility and easy accessibility, ranging from a safe and warm counselling room available in different areas closed to your home or work place, to home visit or your favourite cafe or park.
Fees:
Initial visit： $110 / session (60 mins)
Subsequent visit : ＄100 / session (60 mins)
* An additional fare may be charged for home visit or outreach service, please contact us for more details about the fees.

Therapeutic Outing
Destinations vary from daily living routines like going to the grocery store, community centre, hair salon, yum cha, coffee shop, park to fun activities like going bowling, to the zoo, to the movies, to see a play or go fishing. It makes a difference from the traditional ways of counselling. Clients can be more active to plan ahead with their individualised goals and desires; they can be more relaxed, with high flexibility and casualness, and there is evidence that our bad emotion can be improved when going outdoor, having a walk or just having a coffee or tea with someone who really listen to you.
