helping individuals navigate ADHD, love and sport
Hi! My name is Mark. Thanks for stopping by.
As a therapist and practical psychologist, I currently specialize in three areas -
-
Couples & Relationship Counselling
-
ADHD (all ages)
-
Peak Performance Training for Athletes
These are the areas in which I have the greatest knowledge, fueled by a deep passion & interest, many years of personal growth (...hard lessons learned), as well as over 20 years coaching and counselling experience.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Feel free to reach out with any initial questions.
True what they say...
You should see a Specialist.
Research shows seeing a specialist can save you time, money and potential aggravation... versus a "generalist" coach or counsellor who may not have the depth of knowledge or skills to deal with your specific challenge.
ADHD Coaching
“I highly recommend Mark for anyone struggling with ADHD. Initial assessment was very detailed and professional. Follow-up sessions were insightful and useful, helping me to not only manage my ADHD better but also making me feel more empowered and in control.”
Laura Han
Sport Performance
"I’ll be honest. I had my doubts about mental training and sport psychology in general. After one session with Mark I realized how many aspects of my sport are indeed “mental” and therefore need to be trained regularly if I want to compete at the highest level. Which I do. Probably the biggest takeaway for me was learning about self-belief and self-determination. I’ve always been quite confident. But now it’s at another level…;) Thank you Mark!"

Mind & Relationship Coach
A mind coach is really no different than a sports coach.
We work with people to improve their skills.
The mental. The behavioural. The emotional. The relational.
Learn to master your mind.
Learn to master your relationships.
Learn to master your sport.
Study after study have shown that the most important factor leading to positive outcomes through therapy or coaching is the relationship between client and therapist. Surprisingly, even more important than a therapist's training and qualifications!
As humans, we all have a fundamental need to feel safe and that we trust someone before we can truly open up and begin to explore our issues and challenges.
No pressure. No stress. I encourage clients to take it one step at a time. Hence the "risk-free" first session. Details below.
The first step is often the hardest

Hong Kong's first & only adhd coach
It's been a long journey. I took my first psychology courses ("Psych 101" and "Sport Psychology") age 19, at the University of Toronto.
For nearly three decades now I've been counselling individuals and couples; working with athletes; leading men's groups; delivering talks to students; and facilitating a range of personal development workshops here in Asia.
My basic approach is fluid and flexible, but more importantly... practical. In general, I work under the assumption people come to therapy or coaching seeking real-life solutions & strategies and a new way of being, rather than a lot of theory or psycho-babble. This simply means if you're looking for long-term, ongoing "talk therapy" I may not be the right counsellor for you. However if you're hungry for change or progress, ready to live the best version of yourself, great, let's make it happen... ;)
My work integrates sound principles and solutions from diverse fields, but mainly these:
-
Humanistic Psychology
-
Evolutionary Psychology
-
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
-
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
-
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
-
Sport Psychology

" risk-free guarantee "
what's that?
If you decide not to return for a second session,
your first session is absolutely FREE!
It's a "no risk" guarantee designed to make the first step as easy and stress-free as possible.
It's also a guarantee you won't find anywhere else.
Reasonable & Affordable
To ensure my counselling fees are fair and competitive, I recently did a little research. I randomly selected 100 therapists on the PyschologyToday.com website (therapists/counsellors currently working in HK) and looked at their fees. Turns out, the average fee for individual counselling at the moment in Hong Kong is $1,595 per session (and $1,850 for couples). If you'd like to know my fees, feel free to message or email... I'd be happy to tell you.
