Panda Cheong​

Panda Cheong is a registered psychologist who practices with an Integrated Framework. Panda is proud to identify as a peer practitioner, having numerous lived knowledges which informs their work: system knowledges, emotional knowledges, experiential knowledges, practice knowledges, trauma knowledges. These lived knowledges all sit alongside and elevate their western psychological training.

Panda’s Psychology interests change and grow depending on what sparks their inquiring mind. They are currently thinking a lot around body based practices and Psychology’s slow move back to the “whole” person. Nature as therapy, and how nature impacts on our brains. Creative therapies, using art and symbolic language. And the practice of community of care, especially reflecting on how Psychology can engage in this “effectively” coming from an individualist perspective.

Most importantly, they enjoy combining Psychology with de-colonising actions, reflecting on the ways in which we can decolonize our minds, while also querying how Psychology has contributed to colonising practices.
