Introducing our Clinicians

Samantha Chin — Psychotherapist and Counsellor

Psychotherapist

Samantha Chin

BArts Psych (US)  ·  Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling (AUS)

Samantha's practice centres on holding complexity with care, making space for conflicting parts of the self so fresh clarity can emerge.

Having lived across Malaysia, the UK, the USA, and Australia, Samantha brings a nuanced understanding to change, adaptation, and the emotional complexity of moving between worlds. This background is paired with experience across community and corporate systems, shaping a deep insight into how societal expectations, familial obligations, and workplace cultures influence daily self-perception and wellbeing.

Samantha's framework is also personally informed. Navigating her own relationship with gut health and stress response has deepened her understanding of how intimately the mind and body move in relationship with one another.

She believes that living with greater agency and inner steadiness requires both ambition and grace: the courage to grow, and the compassion to remain deeply connected to oneself along the way.

Registered member of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). Trained in Person-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).

Phylicia Chin — Somatic Therapist

Somatic Therapist

Phylicia Chin

Master of Professional Counseling (MY)  ·  Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1

We are shaped by everything we live through, our relationships, cultures, the experiences we carry, and the transitions we move through. These experiences become part of how we see ourselves, respond to the world, and navigate life's challenges. Phylicia believes that meaningful change begins not by becoming someone different, but by developing a more honest and compassionate relationship with ourselves.

Having lived and worked across Asia, the Middle East, and the West, Phylicia understands how culture, family, achievement, and life transitions shape the way we relate to ourselves. Alongside years of supporting people through grief and relationships, her long-standing yoga practice has deepened her appreciation for the mind-body connection and the understanding that lasting change comes through experience, not insight alone.

At the heart of Phylicia's work is the belief that people are rarely held back by a lack of insight, but by the capacity to stay with the more difficult parts of being human. Through body-based practices, reflection, and practical skills, she helps clients build self-trust by learning to meet uncertainty, difficult emotions, and life's challenges without abandoning themselves. From this foundation, lasting change becomes possible, and people are freer to move through life with greater confidence, resilience, and authenticity.

Master of Professional Counseling, Monash University (MY). Post Graduate Diploma of Education, Plymouth University (UK). Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Bond University (AU). Trained in Compassionate Inquiry (Dr Gabor Maté) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1. Registered Yoga Teacher (Yoga Alliance).
