Life and time are often understood as a stream that keeps flowing. A therapy session is like stepping aside for a moment beside the “stream of life” where clarity and compassion can be found before dipping your toes back into the water.Every stream is unique — and so is yours.

Hi, I'm Quyen/Josephynn (she/her).I am a Registered Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor with extensive experience working across outreach, community, not-for-profit and peer-led settings — as a psychologist and a clinical team leader.I have worked with people who are culturally diverse, LGBTIQA+, neurodivergent, people living with chronic illness, NDIS participants and people impacted by addiction. I am sex-positive, kink-allied, poly/non-monogamy friendly, and sex worker friendly.My style is warm, person-centred and compassion-focused. I see therapy as a collaborative space where you can slow down, make sense of your experiences and be supported to work towards achieving your mental health and wellbeing goals.Alongside evidence-based practice, I bring with me the fruits gathered from lived experience as an adult migrant, queer person of Asian heritage and person of faith.I work with adults aged 18 and above in the following areas:

  • Depression, anxiety, stress & burnout, self-esteem

  • Minority stress

  • Attachment & relationship difficulties

  • Trauma, including childhood, religious and complex trauma

Therapeutic approaches:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Schema Therapy

  • Narrative Therapy

  • Emotion-focused and compassion-focused approaches

We acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as traditional custodians of the ACT and recognise any other people or families with connection to the lands of the ACT and region. We pay respect to the Elders of the Ngunnawal Nation past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be.
