Ms Angela Concessa (CES) Cheung

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

I help you navigate life transitions, anxiety, stress and burnout, mood concerns, and relationship issues using ACT, trauma-informed counselling, personal development, and relationship-focused approaches in clear, confidential sessions.

About Me

I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Cebu, Philippines. I currently serve as a clinical associate at Inner Peace PH. I earned my Master of Science in Psychology, majoring in Clinical Psychology, from De La Salle University–Manila, and I am also a certified life coach, having completed my training at the Collective Change Institute in Singapore under International Coaching Federation (ICF) standards.

Approach

Grounded in both community work and research, I support clients in Cebu City through a mix of thoughtful assessment and practical, everyday strategies. I offer sessions in English or Tagalog, including online options that work well for busy families, and we move at a steady, collaborative pace—setting small goals, practicing skills in session, and trying out simple steps between meetings. With children, I use playful, structured activities; with adolescents and adults, we focus on values, managing emotions, and building routines that ease burnout and strengthen relationships. Many people find this steady, compassionate approach both manageable and effective.
