Meet Bandai Choi
MSSc, MAPS, MCCLP, AFHKPS | Clinical Psychologist
As a clinical psychologist in Melbourne, I focus on ADHD & Autism assessments, EMDR trauma therapy, and neuro-affirming support. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by ADHD, navigating past trauma, or seeking bilingual therapy in Cantonese or Mandarin, I offer a compassionate, evidence-based space where you can find clarity, healing, and growth.
My Approach to Clinical Psychology: Evidence-Based & Neuro-Affirming
My practice is built on the belief that effective therapy is a collaborative journey. I integrate warmth, practicality, and evidence-based modalities to create a therapeutic experience that is truly tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Warm & Practical
You’ll find a space that feels safe and grounded. Together, we’ll develop strategies that fit your real life — not just theory, but practical tools you can use every day.
Evidence-Based
I draw on modalities like EMDR, ACT, CBT, and Schema Therapy — all backed by research. You can trust that our work together is grounded in what science shows to be effective.
Collaborative & Transparent
Therapy is a partnership. I’ll always explain my thinking, check in with you, and adjust our approach based on what feels right for you. Your voice guides our work.
My Clinical Journey
I’m passionate about helping you write your own “user manual” — understanding your unique strengths, patterns, and needs so you can thrive authentically.

ADHD, Trauma & Anxiety: Areas Where I Provide Support
Life presents unique challenges, and finding the right support can make all the difference. I often help clients who are experiencing:
ADHD & Executive Functioning
If you’re struggling with focus, organisation, time management, or emotional regulation, I can help you develop practical strategies and a deeper understanding of your neurotype. You’re not broken — your brain simply works differently.
Trauma & Attachment
For those carrying the weight of past experiences, I offer EMDR and trauma-informed support to help you process distressing memories, foster secure attachments, and reclaim a sense of peace and safety in your body and relationships.
Anxiety, Mood & Stress
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, persistent low mood, or chronic stress, we can work together to build resilience, develop coping mechanisms, and restore emotional balance — at a pace that feels right for you.
Ready to Connect? Take the Next Step Towards Well-being
Taking the first step towards seeking support can feel daunting, but it’s a powerful act of self-care. Whether you’re ready to book a session or simply have a few questions, I’m here to help. All services are available at both our Essendon and Footscray locations.
