Dr Avis Ngan

Dr. Ngan specializes in psychotherapy with adults struggling with burnout, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. He has worked in both Hong Kong and Mainland China helping clients ranging from corporate executives with performance anxiety to hospitalized patients with psychosis.

His intervention style focuses on empowering the individual to rediscover their inner resources. By providing emotional space and emotional safety, psychotherapy identifies the true core of the problem allowing the individual to find the solution that best suits their strengths, weaknesses, situation, and problem. Psychotherapy unleashes the expert hidden inside the client.

He grew up in Hong Kong and attended international schools and studied in the UK for secondary school and bachelor’s degree. He then returned to Hong Kong for his first doctorate in biology before transitioning his career into counseling and clinical psychology. His scientific background trained him in objectivity and research which has actually proven essential in psychotherapy when preventing stigma, identifying cognitive errors, and seeing the person as they are without preconceived biases.

Dr. Ngan is a registered member of the American Psychology Association (APA). He received his Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology at Alliant International University and his Masters in Social Science (Counseling) from the University of Hong Kong.
