Having the Satir Growth Model as her counselling orientation, Dr. Yung-Tsang focuses on helping her clients and students be responsible and happy choice makers of themselves. She enjoys good outcomes in her teaching, counselling, family therapy and clinical supervision. With continuous commitment in her professional and personal development, her doctorate studies not only brought her deeper and broader understanding of Satir’s counselling philosophy and her Growth Model, but also made her the first scholar in the world to study Satir’s clinical supervision. Her research was commented by one of the examiners as “one of the most engrossing and enjoyable manuscript he has ever read in his career as an academic.”

 

In the past 30 years, Dr. Yung-Tsang has committed herself in promoting the Satir Growth Model in Hong Kong and in the world. She has been a key leader of the Hong Kong Satir Centre, the first Asian elected as a board member of the Virginia Satir Global Network, and the first Asian to be granted the “Living Treasure” award by the Network in 2009. She will continue her commitments in promoting and developing a Growth focused counseling and supervision philosophy which harmonizes with the Chinese culture.
