Asia's Leading
Mental Health
Service Provider

Dr. Avis Ngan (Psy.D.) is a Registered Clinical Psychologist (HKADCP #300010078) with over 16 years of experience helping individuals, adolescents, and families navigate complex psychological challenges. Based at Mindsight, Admiralty, Dr. Ngan works in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin bringing cultural fluency to his work across Hong Kong's diverse international and local communities.

Dr. Ngan specialises in identity challenges that accompany major life transitions and impair performance: including academic adjustment for adolescents, cross-cultural adaptation for expats, promotions, and parenting. He also works extensively with mood disorders, relationship difficulties, burnout, low self-esteem, and emotional repression in adult clients.

His therapeutic approach draws on evidence-based modalities including CBT, EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, and family systems work; all adapted thoughtfully to each individual rather than applied formulaically. He is particularly skilled at identifying the internal blockages: avoidance patterns, limiting beliefs, and emotional defenses - that keep people stuck. He helps clients build genuine self-esteem from the inside out rather than through external validation.

In addition to individual and family therapy, Dr. Ngan provides executive coaching for professionals navigating leadership and interpersonal challenges - including senior executives and CEOs from investment banking, tech, management consulting, and international trade.

He holds a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University (2018) and an M.Soc.Sc. in Counselling from the University of Hong Kong (2009), and currently supervises Masters in Counselling students at both Monash University and his alma mater, HKU. Beyond private practice, he consults across Hong Kong's NGO sector - spanning ASD youth services, psychiatric rehabilitation, and early childhood institutions - and provides clinical supervision for social workers in the field.

Anson Lam holds a Master of Social Sciences (MSocSc) in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Hong Kong (HKU). She is an Associate Fellow (AF1514) of The Hong Kong Professional Counselling Association (HKPCA), a Professional Member of the American Counseling Association (ACA), and a Certified Incredible Years (IY) Group Leader for parenting groups.

With over 20 years in education and 15 years in psychotherapy, Anson has held senior roles including Head of Counselling and Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) at an international school. She has collaborated with numerous prestigious institutions, including St. Stephen's College, St. Paul's Co-educational College, DGS, HKIS, ISF, CDNIS, GSIS, CIS, VSA, and ESF.

Ms. Lam has a particular affinity for working with gifted children, connecting with them effectively and providing tailored support for both the children and their families. She works collaboratively with schools and parents to address the unique social-emotional needs of this population. Her expertise also extends to leading workshops, training sessions, and parental guidance sessions on a range of areas, including emotional and behavioural challenges (anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD), family dynamics (sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, couples work), and life transitions such as divorce. Her warm and practical approach supports both parents and children in adapting to new life circumstances.

In addition to her clinical work, Anson serves as a Site Supervisor for master's and doctoral students from Monash University, the University of Hong Kong (HKU), City University of Hong Kong (CityU), and Shue Yan University, mentoring the next generation of mental health professionals.

Working with reputable psychiatrists, Ms. Lam provides seamless referrals and coordinates comprehensive care. She has recently been assisting clients facing adjustment challenges upon relocating to Hong Kong for work or study. Fluent in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin, Ms. Lam collaborates closely with parents and clients to implement effective solutions throughout the healing process.
