Dr Barry Lee

Welcome! I am an experienced counsellor and supervisor dedicated to supporting you with compassion, openness, and cultural sensitivity through life's challenges.

I practice integrative counselling, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor support to your unique needs. I believe therapy is more than just talking—it’s about discovering new ways of relating to yourself and others and finding the resilience to create meaningful change.

Our sessions move at your pace. I’ll listen with care and curiosity, offer insights when helpful, and adapt our work to what truly matters to you. Together, we work toward self-acceptance, growth, and change.

My Expertise

Over the past two decades, I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, offering sessions in both English and Cantonese. My particular expertise includes:

• Neurodiversity: Supporting neurodivergent individuals (including ASD, ADHD, and dyslexia) in navigating identity, self-esteem, and daily challenges.
• Mental Health: Working with people experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, and addictions.
• Identity & Belonging: Supporting those exploring cultural identity, belonging, or intergenerational conflict, especially clients for whom English is a second or additional language.
• Marginalisation & Trauma: Working with individuals facing marginalisation, shame, or trauma.
• LGBTQ+ Affirmation: Providing affirming counselling to LGBTQ+ clients.

"Being different" is something to respect and honor. Let's explore your feelings and navigate life's complexities!

I offer a free 20-minute consultation via phone or video to help determine whether my services are the right therapeutic fit for you. If not, I am happy to provide referrals.

The first session marks the start of our journey toward growth and healing. During this session, I will ask about your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals. This helps us get to know each other and provides me with important insights.

Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes and are scheduled weekly. Many clients notice progress within 6 to 8 sessions, though the duration of therapy varies based on individual needs.

You retain full control over your therapeutic journey, including decisions about the length of therapy and when to conclude session.
