Minh Nguyen
Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA General
Serves Area
Aside from the common depression and anxiety, I also work with adjustment difficulty, culture shock, family conflict and grief.
As a young immmigrant, I understand how it feels like to live between two worlds. The struggle of fitting in with Australian culture while maintaining traditional values, the question of listening to your parents or following your heart, the generational trauma that never got addressed until it passed on. We feel like outsiders, never truly belong anywhere.

I believe that successful outcomes in therapy can be achieved when there is trust between the client and the therapist. The counselling relationship is therefore crucial to any progress made. I am also an AHPRA board approved supervisor and offer supervision to Psychologists and psychology students.

Everyday client concerns like managing anxiety, low mood, or relationship challenges.
There's an assumption that we should already be great at life, despite not generally being taught the skills to be as effective, confident, emotionally stable or as clear-headed as we want to be. I believe that the right therapist can help your unique brain and nervous system learn those skills in a way that is more easeful and works best for you.
