Testimonials

Sessions with Larry Lai are always eye-opening and thought-provoking. His patience allowed for airing deepest thoughts and issues. The analogies he drew enabled me to see things from very different perspectives. Sometimes, even perspectives that I already know very well but was unable to connect with deep inside because of extreme hurts accumulated through time. This process of insightful reflection was critical in breaking down my defensive walls and allowing me to truly hear the other party’s thoughts and opinions.

Larry provides a safe environment for open and honest sharing. His personable and friendly nature gave me the assurance of a non-judgmental view on my personal circumstances. During our conversations, Larry will professionally pick out key points, break down and reconstruct my scattered thoughts. This process has been extremely useful in helping me remove irrelevant concerns and get down to the core of the presenting issue. After every session, I would find myself thinking that another big knot in my head has been loosened!

Larry listens to us, challenges our perceptions versus the realities and helps us become aware of our inner thought processes. To move us forward, he provided us with tools and frameworks that resolved our conflicts and facilitated our reconciliation. As Larry puts it, “when couples get married at the altar, they often marry the person of their hopes and expectations rather than the actual person standing next to them. Larry was firm yet assuring and maintained a neutral and professional posture. What touched us most is his great listening skills and his ability to catch the unspoken words. Having reconciled, we continued to consult Larry to work on other areas to strengthen our marital relationship.

We had a fruitful and meaningful time going through the Marriage Builder Series with Larry. He was not only patient and sharp, there is also so much assurance and confidence in his delivery of his expertise. He created a safe space for sharing and there was not a single moment of feeling rushed or being judged. His counsel was measured with grace and clarity and delivered with much wisdom. We feel very blessed to have worked with such an effective and learned Psychotherapist with a heart seasoned with life experiences and a genuine love for the people he meets. Two of our friends who saw Larry were able to walk out of their depression within just 2-3 sessions.

Before I met Larry, I went through a few counsellors who did their best to help me, but the underlying issues still remained. With Larry’s help, I finally started on my path to recovery. The first thing that comes to mind about Larry is how calm he is in the midst of our discussions, regardless of how emotionally-charged they can be. Larry always manages to remain reassuring, yet never disconnected. This is a very critical point for me as it helped me feel safe and comforted. I found in Larry the warmth of a mentor and fatherly figure who reminded me that I have to come to my senses eventually, but with a good measure of control to guide me to that point of awareness. He slowly brought me back on my feet by helping me rediscover my sense of rationality, rebuilding what remained of my shattered self-esteem, and reforming a sense of identity in me which had been dissolved at the time of the crisis. This is not to say all my problems were gone, but he taught me how to see things from new and clearer perspectives.
