Dr. Isabelle Chiu

Psychologist FSP

I'm an experienced psychologist and avid traveler with a high cultural sensitivity and endless passion for personal growth. I founded Anywherepractice to tackle the increasing burden of mental health problems and to help turn struggles into strengths.

I support people from anywhere in the world and from all walks of life dealing with private and professional challenges. My purpose is to help you recover from setbacks, strengthen your inner resources, and build resilience to develop personally and become your best self.

Additionally, I'm a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion professional and equality advocate. Based on a deep understanding of the pressures in the corporate world, I develop and lead customized programs to promote health & well-being, inclusion, and a sense of belonging in the workplace.

I believe that our individual differences are our greatest power. My top priority is to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment where you can be your authentic self, have a sense of purpose and growth, and create lasting positive changes.
