About Momentum
Momentum Counselling was founded by two like-minded women (Jill and Patricia) who passionately believe in helping clients to create positive momentum through a solution-focused and evidence-based approach.
We will collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan according to your values, goals and needs. This plan will utilise your strengths, set specific objectives, and help you to achieve greater peace of mind and lasting change.
We utilise a variety of counselling tools for individual, couples, and family therapy based on positive psychology and evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the Gottman Method and Relational Life Therapy.

Our counsellors are integrative psychotherapists, who incorporate a variety of therapeutic tools from empirically based modalities to best-fit our clients’ needs and goals. Our sessions are conducted in English.
Jill Carter
Counsellor, CSTIP, Co-Founder
Jill seeks to help people find their meaning and joy in life, addressing areas of difficulty that include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, divorce, and bereavement. She works with adult individuals and couples. As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, no topic is off-limits, and she provides a safe, judgment-free environment for all.
Originally from the United States, Jill has been a Hong Kong resident since 2010. Her interest in human cognition and behaviour started in her teens, and she studied psychology at university and post-graduate. Life led her in a different direction to corporate marketing and later photography. She has enjoyed self-employment as a portrait photographer for 15 years. A series of critical life events in 2020/21, including breast cancer treatment and survivorship, resulted in several “light bulb moments” that led her back to psychology and counselling studies.
Jill has a Master of Counselling (Monash University), a Master of Developmental Psychology (Teacher’s College, Columbia University), and a Bachelor of Arts (Comm/Psychology; Central Connecticut State University). She is a member of the Hong Kong Professional Counselling Association. Jill is trained in Gottman couples therapy (Level 2 certification), trauma treatment (PTSD and CPTSD) and is a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP).
“We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.” – Carl Rogers
Patricia is passionate about helping clients find clarity amidst chaos, happiness amongst heartache, and purpose through life’s transitions.
She has successfully supported her clients to navigate times of conflict, stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of being lost or overwhelmed. She provides a warm, supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, gain clarity, and build resilience. She works with couples and adult individuals.
Patricia draws on an integrative approach grounded in solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural strategies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. She is trained in the Gottman Method (Level 2) for couples therapy, is a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP) and is informed to work with regrettable incidents (including infidelity) and high-conflict couples. She also offers pre-marital counselling, facilitates private couples workshops, and has supported clients navigating sensitive matters such as parenting, finances, relationships with extended family, and complex family dynamics.
Her sessions emphasise self-awareness, emotional regulation, and effective communication, empowering clients to make meaningful and sustainable changes in their lives.
Prior to co-founding Momentum, Patricia spent almost two decades in finance, working across private equity, asset management, and investment banking in Hong Kong, London, and Sydney. In her prior role, Patricia served as Group Head of Strategy for a large, multi-national single-family office, focusing on investment strategy and serving as a non-executive director on the Board of Directors for public and private companies. Her career has enabled her to connect with people from all walks of life, and she has always been interested in the human mind. She has found her second calling in counselling and helping clients work through challenges in their lives and prioritising their mental health.
Patricia has a Master of Counselling (Monash University), a Bachelor of Laws (UNSW), and a Bachelor of Commerce (UNSW). She is a member of the Hong Kong Professional Counselling Association and the Australian Counselling Association.

Dr Jaideep Sengupta
Counsellor
Jaideep joined the Momentum Counselling team in July 2026 and is excited to help support our clients through their healing journeys. He believes that a few fundamentals underlie all counselling techniques: compassion, empathy, and non-judgmental listening. Mental health issues become worse when they are ignored, and when the individual does not have a safe space to speak out about those issues.
Jaideep approaches every session and every client with a commitment to providing that safe space, intending to maximise each individual’s sense of self-worth.
Jaideep holds a PhD in Management (with a background in Psychology), and a Master’s degree in Counselling. His approach to counselling draws on his academic background, his 25+ years of experience as a university professor in Europe, Asia, and the US, and his formal counsellor training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the Gottman Method for couples counselling.
His focal areas of interest include Anxiety/Depression, Relationship Issues, Career Stress, and Couples Therapy.
Jaideep has a Master of Counselling (Monash University), a PhD in Management (UCLA), and an MBA (Indian Institute of Management). He is trained in Gottman Method (Level 2) for couples therapy.
Our Services
Individuals
Individual therapy can help you to improve your everyday life by allowing you to be the sole focus of a single counsellor who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy. It’s the best way to get truly customized therapy, allowing you more control over the pacing and the methods used. We integrate a variety of counselling tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, motivational interviewing and traditional talk therapy to best fit your needs.
Couples
We utilize the Gottman Method couples therapy approach, which combines Dr. John Gottman’s 35 years of research on couples’ relationships with Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman’s more than 30 years of clinical practice. The Gottman method help couples break through barriers to achieve greater understanding, connection and intimacy in their relationships. It is a structured, goal-oriented, scientifically-based therapy, with intervention strategies that are based upon empirical data from Dr. Gottman’s three decades of research with more than 3,000 couples.
Young Adults
Therapy can help young adults to navigate life, as it can be overwhelming and/or complicated to transition from a teenager to a young adult. All of a sudden there is a lot to contemplate and manage, from independence, finances, university life, career decisions, family dynamics and relationships. We use a variety of evidence-based techniques to address issues such as self-esteem, bullying, anxiety, depression, procrastination, and interpersonal skills. However, sometimes the best thing we can do is simply be a consistent, safe, and trusted adult to whom you can confide.
