Chris Dudgeon

Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist

Fee: HK$1,150 per 50mins.

Languages: English.

I am Psychotherapist working most often with adults and adolescents who wish to separate from anxiety (specific and general) and addictions (substance and process), as well those recovering from the effects of trauma. I also routinely work with relationship issues, problematic patterns of thinking and behaviour, body image and issues relating to sex, shame and guilt.

I believe we have innate abilities to grow emotionally and self-heal, but our environments (our culture, family of origin, and societal narratives) recruit us into believing this is not the case: that we are not good enough, cannot cope or are in some other way ‘broken’. I see it as my role as a psychotherapist to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore these issues, build awareness around them and make choices about how to move froward and live your life differently.

I practice from a Humanistic position, that you are the expert in your life and by exploring who you are outside of the problem you are facing, we can identify the strengths, knowledge and values needed to work with the discomfort or pain you have been experiencing. I work integratively by drawing from a wide variety of methods to create a treatment in collaboration with you, which is specific to you. My trauma work is informed by Narrative Therapy together with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Mindfulness.

I also facilitate counselling groups for men wishing to separate from unhelpful sexual behaviours and to live in more fulfilling and loving relationships. To find out about joining one, please schedule a free 20-minute assessment by emailing office@amindset.hk.

I am committed to working with my clients to the highest levels of practice standards with regard to ethics, technical expertise and client care. I practice within the strict professional guidelines of the Hong Kong Society of Counselling & Psychology and constantly review and improve my practice by undertaking ongoing training to ensure the most up-to-date research informs my work.

Originally from Scotland, I have enjoyed a varied career, holding leadership positions in global professional service firms, an MBA (UK) and professional finance qualifications (UK and Australia). All of which bring depth and breadth to my psychotherapy work.

Megan Chang

Megan Chang

Master of Counselling, Monash University, HK.

Fee: HK$850 per 50mins. 

Languages: English, Mandarin, or Cantonese.  (中文)

Megan is a Master of counselling graduate from Monash University dedicated to counselling adults, teens, and children with issues related to anxiety, stress, depression, as well as relationship tensions.

Before counselling, Megan had worked in the financial sector for over 10 years in both Taipei and Hong Kong. She totally resonates with how one’s mental health state is intertwined with the highly stressed and sophisticated working environment. And, how these experiences affected their performance and well-being, both physically and mentally.

After moving to HK, she involved herself in several volunteer and charity works that support the well-being and living of underprivileged women, youth, and children in our community. With experiences working with teens and children in school to support their emotional regulation, learning motivation, anxiety, and relationship issues with friends and family, she found it truly rewarding to witness how adaptive and plastic are those fast-developing minds. This planted the seeds of pursuing a counselling profession that would enable her to bring substantial change to people’s lives.

Influenced by the person-centred approach, Megan strives to provide an environment where clients feel safe and at ease with her unconditional, positive regard. She is always present, respectful, and curious about how clients’ lives were shaped. Megan integrates evidence-based psychotherapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her practice to help clients navigate their thoughts, emotions, value, purposes and expectations. “Everyone can be empowered to shape their own life” is her motto, so please reach out whenever you or your loved ones feel like talking to someone.
