Hello, I’m Dr. Allen Dorcas. I received a Master’s in Counselling Psychology at the
Université de Montréal in 1991, and a PhD in Psychology from the University of
Hong Kong in 1997. I have worked for nearly 30 years in Hong Kong with a wide
range of clients from diverse cultural backgrounds helping them work through many
of life’s challenges. I have also taught and supervised master level students on the
theories and techniques of professional counselling for over 20 years. I am a
registered psychologist with the Order of Psychologists of Quebec. (OPQ)

I see the therapeutic process as a joint effort in which I walk alongside you with
heartfelt empathy, acceptance, non-judgment and a desire to step into your world
and help shed light on areas you may not be able to see clearly on your own. We
work together to decide the next step on your life’s journey that fits with your values
and desires. I offer my insight and heartfelt support to empower you to uncover your
strengths and abilities to be able to break free from destructive patterns and live a
more fulfilling life.

I have extensive experience with mindfulness and meditation and often invite clients
to come into the present moment to discover the power that is hidden by compulsive
thinking and doing. When we slow down and become more present a clarity and
confidence can emerge quite quickly to show us the way forward. My approach to
counselling is integrative with a flexible use of different tools adapted to each
person’s needs and abilities.
