Thanh’s warm, genuine, and compassionate approach to therapy allows her clients to feel safe and comfortable in the therapeutic environment. Thanh is passionate about supporting individuals, couples and families during the perinatal period, which encompasses from pre-conception, pregnancy, and postpartum. It was through her role as a Home-Start Volunteer with Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia (PANDA) that Thanh developed a passion for prevention, early intervention and treatment approaches to perinatal mental health and supporting individuals and families with transitioning to parenthood.

Thanh has worked in community health, not-for-profit, educational settings and private practice. She has provided perinatal prevention, early intervention and treatment through individual therapy, group facilitation, parent sessions and couples counselling in supporting families with adjusting to parenthood. Through her work in community health, Thanh has also supported families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds during the perinatal period.

Thanh believes treatment should be collaborative, and tailored to each clients’ individual, couple, and family needs. Thanh believes in empowering individuals to reach their true potential by using a person-centred and strengths-based approach. She draws on a variety of evidence-based methods in tailoring treatment to your individual situation including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution- Focussed Therapy. Thanh has a strong interest in using Mindfulness, Compassion-Focused Therapy techniques and draws on attachment theory and psychodynamic approaches to better understand individuals, couples and families.
