Crisis Services
These are established services in Hong Kong for crisis support – mostly covering reporting, medical, legal, and judiciary support.
Finding a therapist
is key to your healing
Working with a skilled counselor can be extremely helpful in your healing process. Finding the right person to help you can take a few tries but it’s very much worth the effort. You can ask them for a brief phone call before meeting to get a sense of their experience and approach to treating sexual abuse trauma.
Therapy & Support
Finding a therapist that you can afford is often a challenge in Hong Kong but there are some resources you can contact.
It is not within my ability to recommend you a therapist, but I am listing some that I have met and have experience with sexual trauma.
