Meet Senior Speech Therapist Miss Cherry

True progress happens when we build the specific foundations a child needs to thrive.

With 13 years of clinical expertise as a paediatric speech therapist, I am guided by the belief that real progress is entirely unique to each child. I know that parenting through developmental challenges can feel overwhelming, which is why my approach is completely non-judgmental, grounded, and deeply compassionate.

By combining clinical precision with true empathy, my mission is to build deep, trusting partnerships. I am here to ensure that families, educators, and healthcare providers feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.

Every child communicates;

our privilege is learning how to listen.

The Foundation

My clinical journey began at The University of Hong Kong, where I earned my BSc in Speech & Hearing Sciences. Over the past decade, I have supported children from toddlerhood all the way to 18 years old, firmly believing that every single child is brilliant in their own unique way.

My Journey

Diverse Experience

I specialised in providing tailored support for children navigating speech and language delays, Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and a wide spectrum of developmental profiles.

I also have had the privilege of serving families across private child development centres, NGOs, mainstream schools, and special schools. Walking alongside families navigating extra challenges deeply moved me—and shifted how I view therapy.

A Holistic Approach

Witnessing the everyday realities of these homes inspired me to return to HKU to pursue a Master of Social Sciences in Behavioral Health. I realised that true therapy means so much more than just building clinical skills. It also requires nurturing the emotional well-being of the child and supporting the mental wellness of the parents. It also helped me understand how to sustainably care for myself as a clinician, too.

Joyful Integration

Today, I am a dedicated advocate for integrating holistic mental and emotional wellness into speech therapy. I love sharing practical, actionable strategies that turn speech practice into a smooth, joyful, and natural part of your busy daily routine.

To ensure your family receives the highest standard of precise care, I continuously train in advanced, evidence-based intervention methodologies.

Bridging Language & Connection

To best support your child's entire network, I provide therapy and consultation fluently in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, effectively bridging language barriers to bring families, schools, and professionals closer together.

Outside the therapy room, I’m happiest spending time with my young son, getting lost in a book or a creative project, and slowing down over a good latte.

These small moments remind me how much connection, play and everyday life matter to the families I work with.
