Dale is a Perth based Psychologist with a strong interest in helping people develop the ability to flourish in all aspects of their life. She believes that the most important step in starting the process of therapy is creating a safe and comfortable space, free of judgement or blame where you can work together as partners towards overcoming the difficulties in life you may be facing.
She adopts an integrative outlook towards therapy and uses a two-step approach; reducing symptoms with scientifically based therapeutic techniques for short-term relief from presenting difficulties, and deeper healing techniques which aim to identify and manage troublesome behaviours and patterns to improve long-term positive outcomes. In short, she aims to help you lead your best life possible.
In addition to her formal training in psychology, she has additional specialised training in mindfulness and relaxation techniques as well as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). She is highly experienced in working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures including newly arrived migrants and international students.

Psychologist (Clinical Psychology Registrar) //
Bpsych(Hons) • MAppPsych(Clinical)
Child, Adolescent & Adult Clients
With over seven years of counselling experience, Ying has a strong passion for providing therapy that is client-centered, compassionate, empathic, reflective.

As part of her client-centered approach, she tailors her interventions according to her client’s needs, drawing upon a wide range of intervention modalities.

Depending on the age and presenting issues of the young person, Ying also believes that family often plays an essential role in supporting and facilitating the recovery of the young individual. Her treatment approach when working with children (and sometimes, adolescents) thus often incorporates therapeutic work focused on attachment, family dynamics, parental reflective functioning and parent’s well-being.
In addition to providing therapy, Ying has also had experience in conducting and interpreting cognitive, developmental and learning assessments.
