Dr Monica Borschel

Welcome! My passion is to help you find inner peace and emotional comfort within yourself and your relationships. As social creatures, our relationships significantly shape our happiness, well-being, and sense of self-worth. My training and qualifications include certifications in EMDR therapy, Brainspotting therapy, and High Conflict Coaching. These tools, combined with my extensive knowledge and experience in the field, enable me to offer you the guidance and support you need to heal from past traumas and build healthy relationships. I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with The Hong Kong Society of Counseling and Psychology. I am a member of several associations, including the American Psychological Association (APA), the British Psychological Society (BPS), the Hong Kong Family Law Association (HKFLA), and the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC). My approach to coaching is empathetic, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. Every person can heal, grow, and thrive, and I am committed to helping you achieve your goals. So, whether you are struggling with relationship issues, divorce, abuse, attachment traumas, or other challenges, I am here to help you find the peace and comfort you deserve. Unfortunately, many of us have experienced relationship-related traumas, which can leave us with emotional scars that require healing. Attachment traumas, such as divorce, break-ups, infidelity, neglect, and abuse, can be challenging. As an expert in attachment, loss, and trauma, I have spent many years studying how attachment styles can shift with loss and trauma. I have seen how healthy relationships can lead to secure attachment and how insecure attachment can create turmoil in our lives. I aim to guide you toward cultivating healthy relationships with yourself, your children, your co-parent, and your romantic partner. I can help you develop new attachment strategies that will allow you to form deeper connections and bonds with those around you. And, if you have children, I can also assist you in establishing secure attachments with both parents, which can be especially helpful in cases of separation or divorce.
