The Hong Kong Psychology Practice®
Complex Trauma, Sexual Assault & Dissociation
ONLINE & IN-OFFICE WAN CHAI

I am a highly experienced psychologist, supervisor, and educator with over 17 years of clinical expertise in trauma-related issues, including sexual assault, dissociation, eating disorders, and complex trauma. My therapeutic approach is grounded in neuroscience and trauma research, integrating insights from intersectional feminism, human rights, and social justice.

Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles in specialist trauma services, including serving as Senior Psychologist at the Eastern & Central Sexual Assault Service at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. I co-founded and co-directed BodyMatters Australasia, an innovative eating disorders clinic in 2009, that pioneered a new model of prevention and treatment that continues to drive successful outcomes today. My expertise has been sought by television, radio, and print media since 2011, & I have delivered keynote addresses at various conferences and professional training workshops at institutions including the Australian Education Union, Australian New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED), University of Sydney's health services (counselling & medical), Pymble Ladies College, MLC, and more.

I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Agency (AHPRA) & New Zealand Psychology Board (NZPB). I hold a Master’s in Applied Neuroscience from King’s College London (IoPPN) and degrees in Psychology from Macquarie University and The University of Sydney. My clinical expertise spans:

✔ Trauma & PTSD (developmental, single-incident, and complex trauma)
✔ Sexual assault & abuse recovery
✔ Dissociative disorders (incl. DID)
✔ Eating disorders & body image concerns
✔ Anxiety disorders & perfectionism
✔ Interpersonal & attachment difficulties

I have demonstrated expertise in delivering a range of evidence-based therapies, including Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-informed Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (TR-DBT), and Enhanced CBT for Eating Disorders (CBT-E).

Beyond clinical practice, I provide trauma-informed supervision to mental health and allied health professionals, helping them deliver exceptional care while maintaining their own well-being and resilience.

As an advocate, I examine the ways in which trauma, sexual violence & mental health struggles are shaped by systemic inequalities, cultural narratives, & entrenched power imbalances. I co-founded Endangered Bodies, an international movement challenging body image pressures, and have contributed chapters to academic and parenting books, including Steve Biddulph's 'Raising Girls' that became an international bestseller.
