Dr. Friday is Western-educated and classically trained in psychotherapy, and has spent the last seven years conducting advanced research, clinical work, professional development training, and completing their Ph.D. Having served as a professor at Georgetown University and with experience in talent and learning development, research, and psychology, Dr. Friday has the reputation of being a people-mechanic, a gear shifter, and a reconciler of tensions and conflict, whether between individuals and groups, or within themselves.
It’s important to note that there are important differences between a psychologist and a counsellor in terms of qualifications, training, and scope of practice. A counsellor helps individuals, families, couples, or groups find a solution for their personal, emotional, or psychological problems. They usually offer support, practical advice and guidance to help their clients cope with various challenges, make decisions, and boost their well-being.
On the other hand, psychologists have a wider scope of practice. They are able to diagnose and offer treatment for mental disorders, perform psychological assessments, and provide counselling or therapy services. They need to have completed extensive education and training in psychology, usually by obtaining a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D). They typically have a specialisation in certain areas, including counselling psychology, educational psychology, or clinical psychology.
Dr Friday helps clients through various challenges, including: work and sports performance; stress management; life and career transitions; depression; anxiety; burnout; relationship challenges; mood and emotional regulation; sleep difficulties; and trauma and PTSD. They also help clients achieve increased self-awareness and motivation; improved relationships; a greater sense of purpose and direction; empowerment; reduction of psychological distress and other symptoms; improved coping skills; enhanced self-esteem; and better life satisfaction.
For their corporate wellness programme in Hong Kong, Dr Friday believes that at the core of every successful organisation lies the vitality and wellness of its team members. It is with this spirit that Maple Tree Counselling’s team has developed its comprehensive list of corporate programmes and Essentials for Change package. With its deep understanding of the influence of mental health and well-being on employee productivity, engagement, and overall organisational success, Maple Tree offers a range of services designed to foster a positive work culture and encourage resilience among employees. The corporate programmes are based on expertise, empathy, and excellence, traits which are indicative of its commitment to providing high-quality wellness services. The programmes are refreshing, research-driven, live-taught, sticky, simple, and focused on game-changer skills to ensure long-lasting impact.
The programmes available through Maple Tree Counselling are designed to help teams and groups through conflict resolution; boosting of morale; resolution of stress and burnout; adapting to change; communication challenges; leadership and team dynamics; innovation; organisational change and inclusion; goal alignment; employee retention; and feedback and evaluation.
