Clare Pemberton

Founder & Psychotherapist

Ember Wellness HK

Clare is a mental health professional deeply committed to fostering the emotional well-being of children, adolescents, and adults. Her practice focuses on empowering individuals to navigate life’s complexities with enhanced self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.

Guided by the principle that healing engages the whole self, Clare’s integrative methodology bridges talk therapy with somatic practices like therapeutic breathwork. She utilises a framework of evidence-based modalities to help clients build upon their innate strengths and achieve meaningful, sustainable change.

Born and raised in Hong Kong to biracial parents, Clare brings a nuanced cultural understanding to her work with both international and local communities.  Her professional journey spans the NGO and education sectors, culminating in the recent establishment of her own private practice. Her experience includes supporting youth as a school counsellor with academic stress, friendship dynamics, and self-esteem in the rapidly evolving online world. In her work with adults, she has guided individuals through relationship conflict, parenting challenges, and the processing of complex trauma.
