Finding the Strength to Recover

Going in circles, always returning to the "starting point"?
Where can you find the strength to recover?

"Restoration Point" is dedicated to providing professional psychological assessment and therapy to people from all walks of life in a safe and confidential space.
We also hope to explore methods of "self-understanding" together,
and to spread the power of healing through art and public education.

With the right help and support,
everyone has the ability to overcome difficulties,
and rediscover the meaning and direction of life.

Let us walk together on the road to recovery!
Restoration Point - Chan Y. L.
"Restoration Point" was founded by clinical psychologist Chan Y. L.

After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, Chan Y. L. joined the Social Welfare Department as a clinical psychologist. His work included providing psychological assessments (such as cognitive assessments) and therapy to individuals from all walks of life, writing court reports, handling child abuse and domestic violence cases, and providing training for the public and professionals. He has extensive experience in treating severe depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sexual addiction, and children with behavioral problems.

He has shared psychological knowledge on the radio, served as the secretary of the Hong Kong Clinical Psychologists Association, provided clinical supervision to interns pursuing master's degrees in clinical psychology, and co-authored publications with colleagues from the Social Welfare Department, such as "Healing-Oriented Parenting Tips" and "Departure! What is the new home like?".
