About Bilingual Psychology by Lin Tan

Hi, I’m Lin, a registered psychologist, marriage counsellor, leadership coach and Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) instructor. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Applied Psychology and am currently registered with the Psychology Board of Australia as well as a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).

​

As the founder of Bilingual Psychology, I envisioned my practice as a means to support individuals navigating life in more than one language—particularly English and Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese). Over time, this vision expanded into a broader approach that values not only bilingual communication but also the deeper layers of diversity, inclusion, and cultural understanding.

​

Bilingual Psychology now provides a space where individual, relational, and workplace mental health are approached with respect for cultural identity and lived experiences. I collaborate with adults, couples, families, professionals and leaders in organisational settings to help them develop sustainable strategies for managing life’s challenges—whether in personal relationships or within complex work environments.

​

My work is grounded in empathy, openness, and collaboration. I support clients facing challenges such as anxiety, stress, relationship issues, leadership fatigue, and cross-cultural transitions. Whether you seek therapy, guidance through a life transition, or leadership support in a demanding role, I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore what matters most—always honouring your context and your story.

I offer services in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, believing that healing and growth are most effective when they honour the complete cultural and psychological experience of the individual or system involved.
