ABOUT LORA
Lora is a Master-level Psychologist trained in the United Kingdom, specializing in psychoanalytic and developmental psychology and divorce co-parenting.
With nearly two decades of experience working with children, young people, and parents in international schools and private practice, Lora most recently focuses on supporting parents facing the challenges of breakups or divorce. As a custody evaluator, parental coordinator, and divorce coach, she understands that divorce is not merely a legal process but one of life’s most emotionally traumatic events that requires substantial support.
If you and your partner are open to honestly evaluating your relationship, Lora offers guidance to help you make meaningful changes and assess whether there is a strong foundation for rebuilding the relationship. If reconciliation is impossible, she enables you to end the relationship amicably by taking responsibility and finding a path to peace.
When a marriage ends, emotional struggles and uncertainties can cloud judgment. While lawyers address legal protections for you and your children, they are not equipped to manage the emotional complexities of divorce, especially in hostile situations. During these difficult times, Lora works with clients to align their expectations with their true needs and identity.
A strong support network is vital during a breakup or divorce, but friends and family may lack the objectivity or tools to help you process grief and move forward. Lora provides professional guidance to help you regain emotional control and rediscover your sense of self.
Divorce or separation should not bring out the worst in you, particularly if you have children who need your presence and support. If communication with the other parent is difficult, especially in high-conflict situations, Lora offers strategies to manage resentment, move beyond survival, and embrace new possibilities. She notes, “Resentment can make us myopic in our view of an offence by continuously stimulating the original negative feeling” (The Good Karma Divorce, Judge Michele Lowrance).
Lora has seen many individuals emerge stronger and happier after divorce while others remain stuck in bitterness. Though heartbreak cannot be undone, you can choose to heal and rebuild your life.
Lora primarily works online and operates between Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.
