Andrew Tan

Andrew is a fully registered Psychologist with a Masters Degree in Professional Psychology from Curtin University. He works with both children and adults with an eclectic, evidence-based approach centered on deliberate practice. Whilst he enjoys working with adults, he is also our resident Child Psychologist, providing both neurodevelopmental assessments and therapeutic interventions for kids with behavioural, emotional, adjustment and attachment issues.

His particular focus is on helping the child-parent-family-school interaction nexus, via play-based Dyadic-Behavioural Therapy, CBT, ACT and Schema Therapy, to create greater harmony based on communication and understanding. He utilizes evidence-driven methods within an over-arching practical and warm-hearted approach, which is also neuro-affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly.

Andrew can help with anxiety, depression, adjustment and sleep issues in particular. He provides comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments and NDIS application reports for autism spectrum conditions (as well as ADHD, intellectual delay and specific learning disorders), and he also provides therapeutic supports for these conditions.

At our clinic, which is very family-friendly, we find that kids and families love working with Andrew: you can embark on a healing journey to achieve renewed and deeper understanding of yourself and others, with practical solutions to complex issues, conducted safely in an atmosphere of relaxed fun and care.

Adjustment to Life Changes

  • Life is full of transitions—some planned and welcomed, others unexpected and difficult.
  • Whether you're starting a new career, going through a relationship breakdown, becoming a parent, facing a health diagnosis, relocating, retiring, or experiencing any other major life shift, these changes can bring about a complex mix of emotions, including anxiety, grief, uncertainty or even loss of identity.
  • Even positive changes can be stressful, as they often involve leaving behind familiar roles, routines or support systems. It’s common to feel overwhelmed or “stuck” while trying to adapt to a new reality, especially when your usual coping strategies aren’t enough.
  • Therapy can provide a compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore your experience, understand your emotional responses and build new ways of coping.
  • Together, we can work through the psychological and emotional impact of the transition, helping you reconnect with your strengths, clarify your values and make meaningful adjustments.
  • With the right support, life changes can become opportunities for growth, self-discovery and renewal. You don’t have to go through it alone.
