Central, July 25, 2024 — Central, Hong Kong –
Maple Tree Counselling is excited to announce the expansion of its services in Hong Kong. The company welcomes new licensed counsellors to its team, making mental health support more accessible to the community. This expansion addresses the growing demand for high-quality counselling services in the area.
“We are pleased to welcome our new counsellors to Maple Tree Counselling,” said co-founder & director, Anjali Nihalchand. “Their expertise will be invaluable as we continue to respond to the mental health needs of people in Hong Kong.”
Maple Tree Counselling’s newest additions were selected for their extensive experience and expertise. John Mok-Lamme, a US-based counsellor with a background in social work and mentoring young adults and couples, joins the team. John specializes in working with adolescents, adults, and couples, addressing challenges including depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and marital and relational difficulties. While his primary modality is psychodynamic, he integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. John’s approach with couples is heavily influenced by emotionally focused couples’ therapy, which he supplements with other research-backed techniques. He has a proven track record of effectively helping couples and individuals heal and find hope.
Prior to becoming a counsellor, John played a key role in developing an innovative mental health program for youth with significant early trauma in the U.S. He has also spent considerable time in Hong Kong and is part of a large Cantonese family. John and his partner have two grown children.
John joins a diverse team of professionals providing a wide range of mental health services tailored to individual needs. The team now includes 10 counsellors: Casey McGrath, Nicola Shannon, Dr. Amanda Friday, Simon Westcott, and Kari Entwisle who offer individual adult therapy; Lianne Lim and Brenton Surgenor who provide both individual adult therapy and couples’ counselling; and Jacquelyn Tryde and Jojo Tong who offer individual adult therapy and counselling for adolescents.
Maple Tree Counselling remains committed to providing compassionate and professional support. This expansion reinforces that commitment while allowing the company to serve more clients. Each counsellor upholds the company’s mission of creating a safe and supportive environment for all clients.
“Our goal has always been to offer effective therapy that respects each individual’s unique situation,” said another company representative. “Expanding our team ensures that we can maintain our high standards and help more people in need.”
The move to increase the number of counsellors is expected to reduce appointment wait times and provide faster assistance to those seeking help. Clients can access various services, including individual therapy, group therapy, and corporate counselling, tailored to meet specific needs.
Each new Maple Tree counsellor has undergone rigorous training and possesses substantial experience, guaranteeing that clients receive the highest quality care.
Clients at Maple Tree Counselling can expect a welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere. The company is dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment where people feel comfortable discussing their challenges and working towards emotional well-being.
Appointments can be made directly through the Maple Tree Counselling client portal on the website, or clients can contact the team via WhatsApp, the online Contact Us form, or by email. An initial 15-minute discovery call is offered to ensure the right therapeutic alliance from the start.
