During her time as an NHS Consultant, she led specialist services and helped develop the Complex Emotional Needs Pathway in Westminster, which was Highly Commended at the 2021 UK National Mental Health Awards.

In private practice, Dr Fok offers a range of treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. She provides psychoanalytic therapy, Mentalization-Based Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, systemic therapy, CAT, and CBT. She is also an Anna Freud Centre–accredited MBT supervisor and supports clinicians through teaching and supervision. Her practice emphasises careful listening, understanding, and collaboration, helping patients work through complex emotional and psychological difficulties.
