Annabelle Tran
About
Annabelle is a registered psychologist with a Master of Educational and Developmental Psychology from Monash University. She is passionate about supporting the mental health and development of children and adolescents and is committed to improving access to care and education for young people and their families.
Annabelle has worked across a variety of settings including schools, early childhood programs, and private practice. During her training, she completed placements in a school setting and in private practice, where she provided counselling and psychological assessments for children and adolescents. She also facilitated group programs supporting social skills and emotional development.
Annabelle is particularly interested in neurodiversity, including autism and ADHD, and completed her thesis on the impact of camouflaging behaviours on wellbeing in autistic and non-autistic young adults. She takes a warm, collaborative, and client-centred approach, and is guided by the belief that children’s behaviour is a form of communication that deserves understanding.
In addition to her clinical work, Annabelle brings experience as a child disability support worker and swim teacher, roles that have strengthened her ability to build rapport, adapt to individual needs, and support young people in everyday contexts.
