Dr Aika Hui
About me
Clinical Psychologist, The International Medical Centre
As a UK-trained Clinical Psychologist, I provide support for a range of psychological difficulties, including depression, anxiety, stress, anger, OCD, phobias, trauma, work & academic-related difficulties & sleep issues. I also am highly interested in working with adjustment to life events & transitions like health difficulties, bereavement, relationship changes and integrating into a new country.
I love to dabble in creating and experiencing art, explore my spiritual side via reading existential philosophy, yoga, meditation and jogging. In the winter months, I prefer to hibernate with books, writing and comfort films but come summertime, I am often found lying in the sun with the aspiration of looking somewhat like a burnt starfish!
I have worked in both public and private healthcare in the UK, most recently in private practice in London with clients from many different cultural backgrounds. I have also consulted for mental health tech companies, and published clinical research on mental health policy, pediatric psychology, men’s mental health and clinical psychology.
