More About Tom Ho

I am trained in a solution focused therapy style that target key challenges in order to work towards a meaningful solution together with my clients. I include a person centered approach to build a strong and supportive counsellor-client relationship. I have seen and deeply believe in empowering my clients to be the advocator of their own self-growth.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, and groups across various topics. I have also provided career counselling for young adults due to my long history with working in the educational field.

By thoroughly analyzing various situations in a precise manner, I believe we can mutually explore past solutions and think of new ones in a creative manner. It would be my honor to accompany you in your journey and assist you towards your own goals in life.
