My journey

Hi! I'm Cindy, and I'm happy to connect with you here.

I am a bilingual (English, Mandarin) psychologist with a passion for facilitating personal empowerment and growth in mental health. My approach to wellbeing is holistic, person-centered, and collaborative.

I come from a Taiwanese migrant background and in my former life, spent over a decade working overseas in diplomacy and international relations, including in Timor-Leste, Afghanistan, USA, and UAE. I've bore witness to the lived experiences of survivors of institutional child sexual abuse while working as an investigator in the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. I have also studied abroad in Japan and in the USA during high school and university. These lived experiences have given me invaluable opportunities to interact, learn, and grow with people from diverse backgrounds. It has also led me back to re-engaging with my long-term interest in exploring and diving into what it means to be human, and to live a meaningful life.
