Why The Middle Bridge Project?
Evidence-Based, Culturally Affirming Approaches
As an Asian Australian psychologist raised by immigrant and refugee parents, I intimately understand the complexities of moving between cultures. I created The Middle Bridge Project to offer a space where your full self is acknowledged and valued. Having had the opportunity to work for over a decade helping culturally and linguistically diverse communities, with some who may struggle to untangle their inner default voices of impostor syndrome, people pleasing, passive communication, burnout, anxiety and stress, and intergenerational trauma, I’m here to support you with all the tools I’ve found which helps people shift what feels stuck and difficult to change such as unhelpful generational patterns, mindsets or beliefs.
Our work is rooted in Schema Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) - adapted through a culturally responsive and inclusive lens to ensure relevance to diverse lived experiences.
Empowerment Through Collaboration
You are the expert in your own life. Our work together is about collaborating, not prescribing. We centre your wisdom, strengths, and cultural knowledge - offering guidance, tools, and reflection spaces to support your self-determined growth.
Honouring & Transforming Cultural Narratives
Many of us have inherited stories, values, and responsibilities that shape our lives in profound ways. Some empower us, while others may feel limiting or heavy.
Together, we will explore:
✔ Which cultural narratives align with your values
✔ What patterns you want to honour or rewrite
✔ How to navigate change while staying connected to what matters most
Practical, Everyday Tools
We provide strategies that fit into your life, not the other way around. Whether you’re balancing work, family, or personal goals, we help you integrate practices that support self-trust, wellbeing, and meaningful connections.
Let's Walk The Middle Bridge Together
Your experiences are valid. Your perspectives are valuable. And your wellbeing matters.
With warmth & gratitude,
