Welcome to my hub of holistic well-being support! Here, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where you can embark on a journey to explore and enhance your overall health and happiness through a holistic approach. Your well-being is my priority, and I’m here to provide guidance, knowledge, and support as you navigate your path towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. 

My name is Phuong Tran (Teresa), and I am a dedicated practitioner specializing in counseling, psychotherapy, supervision, training, lecturing, and spiritual care. With years of valuable experience, I have come to recognize the profound interconnections between the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of our lives. My approach is firmly grounded in the core values of person-centered care, respect, integrity, dignity, compassion, and holistic well-being. I firmly believe that these values are pivotal in establishing a safe and nurturing environment conducive to personal growth and profound healing.

I am fluent in both English and Vietnamese (native) and have accumulated over 12 years of experience as a psychologist, counselor, and psychotherapist in Vietnam. My professional journey has afforded me the privilege of working with diverse clients, spanning children, youth, adults, couples, and families from various cultural backgrounds.

My expertise spans a wide spectrum of settings, including public mental health, schools, general hospitals, psychological counselling centers, psychotherapy centers, Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, private practice, psycho-oncology, palliative care, and hospice care.

I take great pride in being an active and dedicated member of various esteemed professional communities, which further solidifies my unwavering commitment to delivering person-centered and holistic counselling, psychotherapy, and spiritual care services. My memberships encompass prestigious organizations, including the Australian Counselling Association (Level 3), Spiritual Care Australia (Certified Advanced Member), Association for Supervised and Clinical Pastoral Education in Victoria Inc., Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement, the Loss and Grief Practitioner’s Association, the Vietnam Psycho-Pedagogical Association, the Vietnam Psychotherapy Association, the Psychological and Educational Scientific Association in Ho Chi Minh City, and the Vietnam Palliative Health Care Society. Moreover, I actively contribute my expertise as an Executive Committee Member for The Psychological and Educational Scientific Association in Ho Chi Minh City (PESAH), an Executive Committee Member for the Vietnam Palliative Health Care Society, and serve as the Chairwoman of the “Nu Cuoi Trai Tim” Psycho-Pedagogical Association branch within PESAH. These affiliations reflect my dedication to staying informed and connected within the fields of mental health, counseling, and spiritual care, ensuring that I provide the highest quality support to individuals seeking well-being and personal growth.

My qualifications reflect my deep commitment to supporting mental health and well-being. With a BA in Psychology (Counseling and Psychotherapy), advanced diplomas in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, and diplomas in Counseling and Mental Health, along with advanced-level certification in Clinical Pastoral Education, I am dedicated to providing the best possible care.

What truly sets me apart is my genuine passion for helping others, evident through my certifications in Mental Health Counseling and Pastoral Counseling. These certifications highlight my ability to offer empathetic and compassionate care, making me a valuable resource for individuals facing diverse challenges, including chronic diseases and complex family dynamics. My ability to tailor support to each person’s unique circumstances is a testament to my commitment to personalized care.

My holistic approach extends to vital areas such as grief, mental health issues, and relationship difficulties within counseling, psychotherapy, and spiritual care services. My dedication to well-being is further evidenced by certifications in Child, Youth, and Family Intervention, Disability Support, School Psychology, and Palliative Care. This comprehensive knowledge allows me to offer steadfast support to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, creating a safe and person-centered environment for personal growth and profound spiritual healing.

With over 5 years of experience supervising medical teams in oncology wards and palliative care settings, 3 years providing supervision to teachers and educators in schools, and more than 6 years offering guidance to new psychologists, social workers, counselors, and psychotherapists in Vietnam, I bring a wealth of expertise to my clinical supervision services. My diverse background ensures that I can provide effective support and mentorship to professionals in various fields, enabling them to excel in their roles and advance their careers. Whether you’re a counselor, psychologist, allied health professional, or in a helping profession, I am dedicated to helping you enhance your practice and reach new heights in your professional journey.

Life’s challenges can take various forms – from the emotional to the spiritual, and everything in between. My integrated approach to care recognizes that true well-being involves nurturing every aspect of your being. Whether you’re seeking guidance through difficult times, exploring your inner self, or aiming for personal growth, my services are tailored to meet you where you are.

Each individual’s story is unique, and so too are the solutions that will lead to healing. My approach is centered on your needs, your strengths, and your aspirations. By fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship, we will work together to create a road-map that guides you towards a place of strength, resilience, and well-being.

I invite you to take the step towards a more empowered and fulfilling life. If you find resonance in the challenges I specialize in, I am here to provide a helping hand. Together, we can illuminate the path forward and uncover the remarkable capacity within you to triumph over adversity.
