ABOUT
Hi, I’m Pei.
I’m a clinical psychologist, board-approved supervisor and researcher, here to support your growth as you navigate life’s challenges and transitions.
My practice
Originally from Southeast Asia, I am a first-generation Chinese-Malaysian immigrant and have called Australia home for more than 20 years. My personal and professional experiences shape how I show up, both as a person and as a psychologist.
I offer a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approach to therapy, grounded in empathy, understanding and an unconditional commitment to your mental and emotional wellbeing. My work is collaborative, holistic and strength-based. I draw on my own multicultural heritage and immigration journey to better understand and affirm each person’s unique story, fostering inclusivity and belonging.

Experience
Over more than a decade, I have worked across private practice, schools and out-of-home care services. I have worked closely with a senior independent expert on complex matters involving family law, care and protection, and criminal proceedings.
Therapeutically, I have special interests in working with children and women who are survivors of family and domestic violence, trauma and other adversities.
Supervision and mentoring
I am an approved supervisor with the Psychology Board of Australia. Mentoring early-career psychologists and clinical registrars is something I hold close to heart, both to support their development and to help shape future practice that is ethical, compassionate and person-centred.
Research
I completed my PhD at Sydney Law School, the University of Sydney, in 2025, examining how expert evidence supports children’s views and participation in NSW care and protection proceedings. I am now a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the School of Psychology, working on culturally responsive screening and assessment of childhood adversity.
Sport and performance
With a background in high-level sport, including representing Malaysia internationally, I offer mental performance coaching for athletes across Australia and New Zealand, helping people at all levels cultivate focus, confidence and balance on and off the field.
I volunteer as a clinical psychologist with FISAF Australia’s Wellbeing Working Group. Established in 2025, this community-led group develops initiatives to support the wellbeing of athletes, coaches and families across Australia, with a shared commitment to empowering the next generation of strong, confident athletes.
Outside the therapy room
I find comfort and groundedness in nature, whether hiking, trail running or tending my vegetable and herb garden. My own self-care includes journalling, somatic work and regular therapy, because I believe holding space for others begins with nurturing ourselves. You’ll often find me engrossed in historical fiction with female protagonists; current favourites include R.F Kuang, Stacey Halls and Jessie Burton.
Wherever you are on your journey, I welcome you into a safe, non-judgmental space where we can gently explore your inner world, at your pace, with compassion and curiosity.
