Vivian is a compassionate and experienced psychologist with over 15 years of practice across various sectors, including the private, non-government, and non-profit organisations in the mental health field. She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings across most Australian states and territories, gaining extensive experience with diverse client populations. Vivian is particularly passionate about trauma-informed care, having supported individuals such as first responders and women who have experienced trauma.

​

Additionally, Vivian has a deep interest in the perinatal period, helping parents navigate the months leading up to and following the birth of their child. Her commitment to preventing trauma through fostering secure attachment relationships between parents and children in the early years is at the heart of her practice. She finds great fulfillment in supporting parents during these critical transitions, guiding them through challenges and offering hope for positive growth.

​

Vivian also has a growing interest in the connection between trauma and the body, and how somatic work can play a crucial role in healing. She recognises that trauma often resides not only in the mind but also in the body, and she integrates somatic approaches into her practice to help clients release physical tension and reconnect with their bodies in a safe, supportive environment. By combining traditional therapeutic methods with body-focused techniques, Vivian is able to offer a holistic approach to trauma recovery, empowering clients to heal on both a mental and physical level.

Vivian is committed to personalised care, believing there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy. She tailors treatments to meet each individual’s unique needs and utilises a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. With experience in Circle of Security (COS) Parenting Program and leading both individual and group therapy, Vivian combines these skills to offer flexible, individualised, and effective therapeutic support.​
