Hi, I’m Li, a Psychologist (Educational and Developmental Registrar) passionate about working alongside young people and families across different stages of development and from diverse cultural backgrounds. I enjoy getting to know each person as an individual and working collaboratively towards goals that are meaningful to them and their family.
I have experience working across primary and secondary school settings, private practice, and parenting support, providing counselling, intervention, and psychological assessment for a range of emotional, behavioural, developmental and learning needs. I have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent children and young people, including, but not limited to, Autism, ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders, and Intellectual Developmental Disorder. |
My approach is strengths-based, neuroaffirming and collaborative. I draw on therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), play-based therapy, and Mindfulness, tailoring my approach to each young person’s strengths, needs and goals. I also take a systemic approach, recognising the important role that families, schools and other supports play in a young person’s wellbeing. Where appropriate, I work closely with parents and caregivers so that strategies and support can extend beyond the therapy room and into everyday life.
I speak English and Mandarin and am able to offer sessions in Mandarin where helpful.
I’m passionate about meeting people from all walks of life, continuing to learn alongside the people I work with, and creating a space where young people and families feel heard, understood and supported as we work towards meaningful goals together.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Melbourne’s many cafés and eateries, and discovering new places to eat.
I look forward to meeting and working with you at Hopscotch and Harmony!
