Psychotherapy is intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being. Registered Psychotherapists work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.


Developmental Coaching

Coaching is for the betterment of seekers—people who want to learn, develop, and grow—personally and professionally. In a constantly shifting environment, work and personal life demand learning and reskilling.

Discover what coaching is — and how it can be used to support personalized growth and sustained behaviour change in yourself, your family, your organization, community, and wider world.

I’m Christopher Lee Chang (RP Qualifying), and I offer psychotherapy and developmental coaching for adults seeking healing, clarity, and a more coherent relationship with themselves and others. 

Many people come to this work during a rupture: burnout, anxiety, relationship breakdown, grief, moral exhaustion, or a quiet sense that the self they’ve been performing is no longer sustainable. My role is to help you slow down enough to feel what is true, and steady enough to move with choice again.

My path into this practice began with a simple but disorienting moment: I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the person looking back. That threshold initiated a long season of unlearning, rebuilding, and trauma repair. Over time, what had once felt like “too much sensitivity” became a different kind of seeing: careful attention to pattern, emotion, attachment, and the subtle ways people abandon themselves to stay safe.

I work from a trauma-informed, relational foundation. In practical terms, that means we focus on: • nervous system regulation (so life stops feeling like a constant threat) • emotional truth (so you no longer have to split yourself in two) • relational repair (so closeness becomes safer, not more costly) • integrity and direction (so your choices line up with who you are)

Clients often describe the work as “quietly intense.” We don’t force catharsis. We build capacity. We name what’s happening, track what your body is doing, and follow the threads that lead to real change.

I call the stance I bring to the room The Listening Field: a steady, non-performative presence where your experience can land without judgment, analysis-as-defense, or ideological scripts.
