Jacinta Tan is a compassionate and dedicated Clinical Psychologist based in Perth, Western Australia, with extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. Fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese (中文), she adopts a warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic approach, providing a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their challenges and work towards meaningful change.
Understanding that no two individuals are the same, Jacinta provides highly individualised therapy. She specialises in addressing attachment issues, interpersonal difficulties, and emotional regulation challenges, which are often at the core of mood, anxiety, and personality disorders. To best support her clients, Jacinta integrates a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Attachment-based approaches. Additionally, as a registered Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P) facilitator, she is deeply passionate about advocating for and nurturing strong, secure parent-child relationships.
Jacinta brings a wealth of diverse international experience to her practice, having worked alongside multidisciplinary teams of medical and allied health professionals in both Australia and Singapore. Her clinical background in Perth includes supporting trauma victims at Fiona Stanley Hospital, assisting children and adolescents facing relational trauma through the Department of Child Protection, and working with individuals experiencing complex psychiatric presentations at the Perth Voices Clinic.
Prior to her work in Australia, Jacinta began her career at the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS), working with individuals diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders. She then joined the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) as part of the Adult Neurodevelopmental Service (ANDS)—the very first service in Singapore dedicated to adults with intellectual disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Jacinta is a fully registered Clinical Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA: PSY0002109038) and is committed to delivering culturally sensitive, evidence-based care to all her clients.
