Peter Tam

Mental Health Therapist (Reg OT, CBT)

Peter grew up in Hong Kong and moved to Canada in 2015. He brings over 30 years of experience as an occupational therapist, clinical counsellor, and mental health therapist, serving individuals and communities in both Hong Kong and Canada.

With a lifelong interest in art and design, Peter has integrated creative practices into his clinical work throughout his career. During his time as an occupational therapist in Hong Kong, he received training in art therapy, developed expressive arts and mood-management programs, and co-facilitated art and music therapy groups. He was also a professional member of a Mental Health Photographic Society.

Through POIEO, he hopes to support artists by drawing on his clinical and creative background—helping them navigate insecurity, emotional challenges, and the psychosocial realities of a creative life.
