Vannie Lau

She has completed:
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 training

Vannie is a Provisional Clinical Counsellor and an IFS therapist (Level 1 trained) who offers therapy in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. Originally from Hong Kong, she previously worked as a social justice lawyer. During that time, she saw how people facing unfairness and hardship not only needed legal help, but also emotional support and understanding. This led her to counselling, where she now walks alongside people through their struggles with care and compassion.

In her work, Vannie gently helps clients make sense of their feelings, understand how life experiences shape them, and find ways to live more authentically and peacefully. She often supports people with:

Anxiety, loneliness, sadness, and other emotional challenges
Professional burnout and stress from work or caregiving
Relationship and family struggles
Life changes such as immigration or role transitions
Stress related to legal processes or court involvement
