Chinese Speaking Psychologists Brisbane
The Centre for Human Potential (CFHP) provides Chinese-speaking counselling and therapy services in the Brisbane CBD for native Mandarin speakers.
We have a team of Mandarin speaking registered and clinical psychologists (AHPRA) with extensive experience in working with the local Brisbane’s Chinese community. As native Mandarin speakers, our psychologists can speak Mandarin fluently, providing a safe, engaging, and comforting place for native Chinese community members to get mental health support.
CFHP’s Mandarin speaking counselling services cover a wide range of mental health concerns from guidance through depression and anxiety, to anger management, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), cultural adaptation challenges, and relationships between individuals, couples, and families.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right psychologist?
Finding the right psychologist can be difficult. Whether you’re looking for yourself or a loved one, it’s important that you find a psychologist that can provide a safe and supportive environment, and tailor the sessions towards the issues faced.
At CFHP, we have a multidisciplinary team of Chinese-speaking psychologists. We find that many children or family members book appointments for their loved one who may not speak English or feel more comfortable communicating in Mandarin. Our psychologists who speak Chinese cover a range of issues, ensuring that we’re able to provide the right psychologist for the issues faced. If you’re not sure about who to book with, you can always get in touch with our team who will be able to provide more guidance on which psychologist is most suitable.
Do you offer counselling sessions in Chinese for families and couples?
Yes, our psychologists can arrange for group counselling sessions in Chinese to help with family or relationship issues. We take on a tailored approach for each family – we can factor in traditional Chinese values to identify the root of the problem and offer culturally sensitive solutions for each family member.
