My name is Debbie Viengkham and I am a psychologist currently working in Western Sydney, providing support and therapy to assist with management of mental health and general wellbeing.

​

I began my journey with psychology as a way to try and understand people; how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to our surroundings. I have a passion for understanding human behaviour, our motivations and what influences our choices, decisions, and actions whether conscious or subconscious. I find the dynamics between people and their environment fascinating, and how individual differences allow us to perceive the world in our own unique ways.

​

I primarily utilise cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and schema therapy. I appreciate the flexible and compassionate nature of ACT and believe the skills are immensely helpful in all areas of our lives, including our careers, relationships, home life. I am fascinated by how our core beliefs (schemas) can influence our everyday choices in both helpful and unhelpful ways. Bringing attention and awareness to these beliefs can lead to more conscious and intentional choices, and assist in breaking unhelpful habits and behaviours. I also draw upon skills and strategies from other therapies to cater to your individual needs.

​

I believe everyone needs a safe space where we can be ourselves without worrying about how we may be perceived or what others may think. My priority is to ensure you feel safe to explore and discuss what is important to you. I offer a non-judgemental, compassionate and understanding space, whilst also valuing transparency and honesty in my therapy.
