Carlie is a UK trained doctor of 30 years’ standing, who is practising in Hong Kong as a mental health counsellor, health and wellbeing coach and craniosacral therapist. She has trained extensively in psychiatry, paediatrics and family medicine and has supported people suffering with illnesses from birth to old age, as well as their families.

Hong Kong born and bred, and recently returned, Carlie has had a lifelong interest in both Eastern and Western approaches to life and healing, and the links between mind and body. She has been practising mindfulness and other meditation techniques since 2000, and exploring how expanding our awareness can improve our mental and physical health.

As a junior doctor, Carlie worked in Rwanda following the genocide, and since then has been exploring how traumatic incidents can affect us both physically and mentally. She worked in psychiatry for 3 years, learning cognitive behaviour therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapeutic techniques, and has trained as a craniosacral therapist, ontological and Heartmath coach. Carlie uses all these techniques to help clients resolve anxiety, depression and stress, as well as restore greater vitality for people with chronic health problems.

She particularly looks at how illnesses can be underpinned by the after effects of traumatic incidents, and how in resolving how we relate to those, we can restore vitality and health to our lives. She will also have us look at the quality of relationships around us, and what inspires us, and in addressing any blocks or issues in these areas, and helping us to connect to what brings us joy, will help us build happier, richer lives in which ill health diminishes.
