Xin Tong is a Provisional Psychologist currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology at QUT.

Xin Tong grew up in Singapore and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Duke University in the United States. She subsequently returned to Singapore to work in public policy across areas including youth policy, early childhood development, immigration, and sustainability. Xin Tong then worked as an Associate Psychologist in the Centre for Trauma Recovery before moving to Brisbane to further her studies in clinical psychology. Xin Tong has experience working with individuals from diverse cultural and social backgrounds throughout her education and career.  

Xin Tong believes that attachment relationships are often where the deepest wounds are formed, but they are also where healing occurs. She strives to create a warm and safe therapeutic relationship, providing a secure base from which clients can explore their inner world and how their past experiences shape the present. Xin Tong integrates attachment-focused therapeutic modalities, including emotionally focused therapy, schema therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. She believes that therapy can support individuals in breaking patterns that no longer serve them and create new possibilities for relating to the self and others.

Xin Tong has an interest in working with the following:

• Trauma and complex trauma
• Attachment injuries and relationship/family distress
• Depression, anxiety, and other mood-related issues
• Navigating identity and life transitions
• Grief and loss
• Managing stress and burnout
• Cultural and diversity concerns
