without needing
to explain everything.
Culturally responsive wellbeing tools, education, and workshops for people living between cultures and the practitioners who sit with them.
About The Middle Bridge Project
Hi, I’m Vi. I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Coach, a daughter of former refugee and immigrant parents, second generation Vietnamese Australian who grew up in Melbourne’s west, moving between languages, expectations and worlds.
For a long time, I couldn't find a space that held the layered, in-between parts of me, the ones shaped by culture, community, survival and silence. So i started building one. Maybe you know that feeling too.
With warmth & solidarity,
Vi Tran
Founder | Clinical Psychologist | Fellow Human

Ways to work together
-
Culturally Informed Group Coaching
If you've spent a long time putting yourself last, navigating life between cultures, or struggling to trust your own needs this space was made with you in mind. We bring together people with shared lived experiences to explore self-trust, cultural narratives and emotional wellbeing through practical, culturally attuned strategies.
Our much loved signature program, How to Cut Fruit for Yourself ™, a reparenting and self-compassion journey has been created as an annual offering.

Workshops with Community & Organisations
We run workshops for two groups, and both matter. For organisations and teams working with culturally and linguistically diverse communities, we build cultural responsiveness covering cultural identity, values work and systemic impacts, intergenerational trauma and post-traumatic growth, and strengths-based reflective practice. For communities, we focus on you: leadership, confidence, values and strengths, and navigating workplaces and systems. We work with you, not at you.
Where our work has taken us:
workshops for women of colour networks in the public sector
facilitation for leadership programs
collaborations with Asian Australian mental health initiatives
training for psychology practices
community events
international collaborations with anti-oppressive practitioners

Online Learning & Webinars
Our webinars are run online, by and for those from culturally and racially marginalised communities with practical strategies around what our community has actually asked for including authenticity at work, navigating racialised expectations and cultural safety.
