Work, Stress & Career Counselling in Hong Kong

Counselling, not just coaching

Work and career choices don't exist in isolation from the rest of your life. They affect your health, family and relationships, and are influenced by your culture and past experiences. Counselling looks at the whole person, not just your job or career.

Before becoming a counsellor, Bart held senior leadership positions in large international companies. Combining this corporate experience with his counselling training gives him a unique perspective on the challenges you face at work.

Work Stress & Burnout

Is the true origin of your stress really your boss or workload? Or are you also putting pressure on yourself? Have you internalised criticism, or do you find it difficult to set boundaries and say no? In counselling, we look at both the demands around you and the patterns within you, so you can deal with stress differently before it leads to burnout.

Work Performance & Perfectionism

Whether you're an average or a top performer, how does your performance fit into your life goals? Who is setting the expectations, and what is the cost of meeting them? Is it ambition or perfectionism? Perhaps you want to perform better but keep getting stuck. Counselling can help you understand what drives or holds you back, and how to achieve more without sacrificing the rest of your life.

Workplace Relationships & Communication

Why do certain people get under your skin? How you communicate at work is more than a skill. It also reflects how you see yourself in relation to others, your self-confidence and how you deal with criticism or conflict. Can you truly be yourself in the workplace? Counselling can help you understand the patterns that hold you back, build your self-esteem and change how you relate to others.

Career Choices & Job Satisfaction

What makes you stand out? Job satisfaction isn't just about liking your job. Are you doing what you're really good at, using your unique skills and working at your full potential? Do others appreciate what you contribute? Counselling can help you look at your career choices and find a role where you can make the most of your abilities and feel more fulfilled.

How Past Experiences Affect Your Working Life

Are you still carrying that child? We all carry unmet needs from our childhood, and they can play a surprisingly large role in our working lives. How you respond to criticism, deal with work demands, communicate with colleagues or make career choices may reflect patterns that go back many years. Understanding and addressing these needs can help you change what holds you back, catch yourself before you snap and make choices that are right for you today.

Nothing about your relationship is too difficult to talk about.

Relationships can involve things that are difficult to admit, even to ourselves. Whatever has happened — and however embarrassing, complicated or uncomfortable it may feel — you can talk about it openly with me. I won't judge you or tell you what you should do. Our conversations are completely confidential, giving you a private space to understand what is happening and decide what you want to do next.
