Ken Fung

Ken is a clinical psychologist committed to helping individuals, couples and families with different relational and emotional issues. He uses Gottman Method Therapy and other approaches, such as psychodynamic and CBT, depending on the clients’ needs.

Apart from his role as a clinical psychologist, Ken found the platform Your Relationship Clinic on social media in 2013. He created an interactive channel to, on a pro bono basis, discuss with and offer emotional support to traditional Chinese-speaking people about their relational issues with partners, family members, friends, colleagues and pets.

In 2019, with the outburst of public emotion since early June because of the social unrest in Hong Kong, he has extended and prioritized his service to providing emotional support to Hong Kong residents. He has specialized in supporting those who have been traumatized by witnessing distressing events and the many emotional wounds that continue after them. Ken was named one of the “Top 100 Healthcare Leaders” by the International Forum on Advancements in Healthcare (IFAH) in 2019 for his voluntary services provided via social media.

Ken believes that communication is not only about meeting expectations and needs but also a channel for expressing genuine emotions through establishing a secure place for each other. This is the key to developing a healthy relationship not limited to couples but also among persons with different roles in the society.
