Professional Experience

Hun Yee is a child psychologist who works with children (6+), adolescents, young adults, and adults. He practices from a trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, and LGBTQIA+-affirming framework. He delivers evidence-based interventions for ASD, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, complex trauma, PTSD, developmental and relational trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, adjustment difficulties, interpersonal and attachment difficulties, emotional and behavioural challenges, self-criticism, and perfectionism.

Hun Yee has a particular interest in working at the intersection of trauma, identity, and emotional regulation, especially during formative developmental stages. He supports young people navigating identity development, and individuals who feel “stuck,” overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction. He works with neurodivergent individuals to build regulation skills, social confidence, and self-understanding. He also supports LGBTQIA+ individuals and those exploring their gender or sexual identity.He is committed to ongoing professional development and supervision to support ethical and culturally responsive practice.

Hun Yee provides a therapy space that is safe, inclusive, affirming, and respectful of diverse identities. He aims to support young people in exploring who they are without feeling pathologised, and to help families strengthen understanding and support.

When working with children and adolescents, he prioritises safety, attunement, and developmental sensitivity. He adapts language and strategies to match cognitive and emotional capacity, incorporating creative and experiential methods where appropriate. He also integrates parent coaching strategies and collaborates with caregivers in a supportive way.

With neurodivergent clients, he adopts a strengths-based, neuroaffirming approach. He focuses on understanding sensory, cognitive, and emotional profiles while supporting both skill development and self-acceptance.

With gender and sexuality-related work, he provides a non-judgmental space for exploration and supports identity development without imposing direction. He considers minority stress and broader systemic influences on wellbeing, and works collaboratively with families where appropriate.

Hun Yee’s style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. He sees therapy as a space to slow down and explore what may be happening beneath the surface — emotionally, relationally, and physiologically. In his sessions, he focuses on understanding the “why”, not just the “what”, while balancing empathy with gentle challenge. He supports clients to build both insight and practical skills, particularly when emotions feel intense or overwhelming. Therapy with him is centred on increasing understanding, agency, and self-compassion, rather than “fixing” the person.

Hun Yee works from the understanding that many symptoms can be better understood within the context of a person’s history and lived experience. Responses like avoidance, anger, or emotional volatility may reflect previously adaptive coping strategies. His helps clients explore the patterns that shaped them, develop emotional regulation and resilience, and build healthier relationships including with themselves.

In his practice, he draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and emotion regulation frameworks from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). He often works with clients to identify the function of their thoughts and behaviours; understanding what purpose they may serve, before collaboratively considering alternative responses.

The most rewarding part of his work is witnessing clients recognise their own capacity for change, particularly as they begin to speak to themselves with more compassion. This may involve noticing patterns they had not previously seen, responding with less self-criticism, shifting from “I can’t handle this” to “I’m learning how to manage this,” or moving from shame and confusion toward greater clarity and self-trust.

Outside of work, Hun Yee continues engaging with psychology, particularly through long-form conversations shared by Alok Kanojia (Dr K), which explore identity, motivation, emotional avoidance, and modern challenges faced by young people. He also enjoys spending time with close friends, board games, outdoor activities, and staying active at the gym. Movement and nature are important grounding practices for him, and he incorporates the wellbeing principles he discusses in therapy into his own life.
