From the time she attended her first AEDP Immersion Course in 2007, Esther was fully attracted by AEDP, the beautiful genuine intersubjective healing process between the therapist and the client and the amazing transformation in clients.

Esther has been in AEDP supervision and training with Danny Yeung, MD since 2007. She became certified as an AEDP therapist in 2013 and as a Supervisor in 2018. She is the founder of a trauma healing centre in Hong Kong, specialized in treating clients with depression and anxiety, particularly those with attachment trauma and emotional hurts. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP®) with MFT training, Esther strives to integrate seamlessly the concepts and skills of AEDP and somatic work in helping individuals and families in affect regulations, strengthening attachment bonding and facilitating growth and healing. She also has the passion to share with clinicians the healing power of AEDP and dedicates to the growth of AEDP in the Chinese community.
