The Hong Kong Mood Disorders Centre offers two phobia-related services. If you need to be seen immediately, staff can refer you to a private doctor trained to deal with anxiety disorders. If you're prepared to go on a waiting list, the centre has its own clinical psychologists, who can arrange private weekly therapy sessions for a fee.
The centre can also refer you to support groups, run by recovered patients, for the likes of agoraphobia and social phobia. For more information, leave your details with the hotline: 2833 0838.
The Mental Health Association of Hong Kong offers telephone counselling on its free hotline (tel: 2772 0047), Monday to Friday, 2pm to 10pm. It also provides one-on-one counselling with clinical psychologists for a fee. To get on the waiting list, call 2528 4656.
St John's Counselling Service provides counselling with clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, and mental health counsellors, depending on requirements.
