About Bandai Choi

I’m a Clinical Psychologist working with adults and older teens on trauma, mood, anxiety and neurodiversity. Sessions are available in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, in-person or via telehealth.

How we work

  • Warm and practical. We start with what matters most to you now, then agree on a simple plan you can use between sessions.

  • Evidence-based, tailored. I draw from EMDR, ACT, EFT and CBT. We choose what fits your goals and pace.

  • Collaborative and transparent. You’ll know why we’re doing something and how we’ll review progress.

Areas I often help with

  • ADHD and related executive-function challenges

  • Effects of childhood trauma and attachment patterns

  • Anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep

Neurodiversity & ADHD

  • Strengths-based, non-pathologising. We explore how your brain works and build on what already helps.

  • Assessment & coordination. Structured ADHD Assessment, clear summaries for your doctor if a medical review is needed, and practical recommendations for study/work supports.

  • Masking & rejection sensitivity. Tools for self-advocacy, boundaries, and kinder self-talk.
