Maybe you’re not feeling yourself, not feeling okay, or simply feeling a little stuck. Maybe you’re wondering.. Who am I? What am I? Where will I be? What is going on? What is the meaning of life? Is there something wrong with me? Or maybe you’re wondering why you’re overthinking, over-reacting, feeling sad, agitated, tired, frustrated, distracted or confused?
Maybe you’re human, just like all of us.
Our Approach
At Vi Tran Psychology, we honour the complexity of identity, trauma, and healing through a culturally responsive and intersectional lens, with our approach rooted in:
Cultural Humility - Continuous learning and honouring the wisdom within diverse lived experiences.
Decolonising Mental Health - Acknowledging the impact of colonialism and systemic oppression in shaping mental health experiences.
Trauma-Informed & Intersectional Care - Recognising how individual experiences of trauma are shaped by broader societal and historical factors.
Collaboration & Community - Therapy is not just about the individual; healing happens in connection with culture, history, and relationships.

Hey there! I am a Clinical Psychologist and also a board approved supervisor. I am Vietnamese-Australian and also love nature, am a true food fanatic and Netflix-addict. Beyond therapy, I am also dedicated to mentorship, consultation and education on culturally responsive practice.
I have been in the industry for over a decade, and have had the opportunity to be trained in several modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Narrative and Psychodynamic Therapy. I am here to lend an ear, to listen non-judgementally, to figure it out with you, to help you in your journey.
We will use evidence based practices and there will be moments of learning and practice. We may have light bulb moments, tears, celebrations and discoveries about ourselves and others. We may make mistakes, and may learn self compassion. We can take baby steps or huge leaps.
Life can throw us all sorts of colourful things. It is a part of my job to support you to sort those colours out, and figure out what works best for you.
