Children to young adults
Victor Tran is a bilingual (English–Vietnamese) psychologist with general registration and is currently completing the Educational and Developmental Psychology Registrar Program toward endorsement in this area.
Victor works with children, adolescents and young adults (school age to 30s) and has a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD and learning differences. He also supports clients experiencing anxiety, low mood and general emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Victor brings a unique perspective to therapy through his background as a registered teacher in Victoria, having taught in both primary and secondary school settings. This experience allows him to work collaboratively with families and schools and to support young people within real-world educational and developmental contexts.
Victor adopts a neuro-affirming, strengths-based and culturally responsive approach. He is particularly passionate about supporting Vietnamese students and families, and reducing cultural and language barriers to accessing psychological services.
He values collaborative care and works closely with families, schools and other allied health professionals to ensure consistent and holistic support for each client.
Outside of work, Victor enjoys listening to podcasts, practising mindfulness and staying active through regular exercise.
