About Tram
Tram Truong is an AASW social worker with three years' experience based in Australia. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bipolar and depressive moods, and major life changes. Tram speaks English and Vietnamese and focuses on practical support for everyday problems.
She uses trauma-informed and person-centred ways of working. That means she pays attention to how past harm affects current life and follows the person's own goals. Sessions concentrate on strengths the person already has and on clear, doable steps forward.
Tram helps people talk through feelings like guilt, shame, isolation and fear after abuse or relationship breakdowns. She also works with mood and panic symptoms, and with concerns such as commitment anxiety or blended family stress. Life purpose is one area she supports when people feel directionless after big changes.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens, clarifies practical goals and draws up a plan people can use between sessions. Problem-solving and communication skills are often part of the work when family problems and domestic violence impacts daily life.
Tram aims for recovery-oriented practice and advocates for fair access to support. She keeps explanations plain, focuses on skills people can try right away, and checks in about what is most useful. People who prefer therapy in Vietnamese can be seen in that language when needed.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Tram draws on trauma-informed practice and person-centred techniques. Trauma-informed work looks at how past harm affects current reactions and focuses on reducing re-traumatisation while building coping skills. Person-centred work involves listening closely to what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their goals and choices.She also emphasises strengths-based practice, which identifies existing abilities and resources people can use to manage problems. That approach helps when people are feeling stuck or unsure about next steps after a big life change. Deciding which methods to use happens together - Tram will discuss options and adapt the approach to fit the person's needs and preferences.
