Who this is a good fit for
Referrals are typically a good fit for adults who are:
High-functioning on the outside, but struggling with trauma symptoms, burnout, anxiety, shame, or emotional overwhelm
Experiencing PTSD / complex trauma presentations (incl. childhood sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, incest, combat trauma, first responder & medical staff occupational trauma)
Neurodivergent (or questioning neurodivergence) and wanting therapy that is ADHD-informed in pace, structure, and delivery
Post-ADHD diagnosis and wanting psychological therapy and skills-based support (Dr Luu is trained in ADHD diagnosis, however is not currently offering ADHD assessments).

If helpful, you can read more about common referral types before submitting the referral form:
What I can help with
Examples include:
PTSD and complex trauma (CPTSD), incl. one-off, prolonged, and occupational trauma exposure
Hypervigilance, intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance
Emotional dysregulation, shame, self-criticism, perfectionism
Relationship patterns linked to trauma history
Burnout and chronic stress (where trauma/neurodivergence are relevant maintaining factors)
Anxiety, panic, and phobic responses (where appropriate for outpatient private practice
Therapy approach
Therapy is collaborative, structured, and skills-based. I primarily use:
EMDR
CBT
Trauma-informed, neurodiversity-informed adaptations (clear structure, practical tools, and a focus on real-world functioning)
Where clinically appropriate, work often follows a phased approach (stabilisation → processing → integration), with a strong emphasis on safety, pacing, and building capacity.
Who I’m not able to work with
Private outpatient therapy isn’t the right setting for every presentation. I’m not able to accept referrals where there is:
Active suicidality
High risk of harm to self or others
Substance dependence
Unmanaged psychosis
Severe eating disorders
Any presentation that is otherwise unsuited to private practice/outpatient work or requires a higher level of care
For referral queries, please email Dr Luu (thanh@beyondtraumapsychology.com) to discuss.
To make a referral, please use the clinical referral form below. For any referral queries, please contact Dr Thanh Luu directly at thanh@beyondtraumapsychology.com.
If you’re not a healthcare professional, please complete what you can — a brief summary of the situation, any current supports, and any risk concerns (if known) is sufficient.
How to refer
What happens next
We’ll acknowledge the referral and confirm next steps.
If it looks like a good fit, we’ll offer the client an initial appointment (typically within ~1 week).
If it’s not the right fit for private outpatient therapy, we’ll let you know promptly (and, where possible, suggest more appropriate options).
Communication and information sharing
I take confidentiality seriously. With the client’s consent, I can:
Confirm attendance / engagement
Provide brief progress updates where clinically appropriate
Without consent, I’m not able to share clinical information except where required by safeguarding/legal obligations.
For urgent concerns
This service is not an emergency or crisis service. If you have immediate concerns about a client’s safety, please follow your local urgent/crisis pathway or emergency services.
