COUNSELLING PSYCHOLOGIST
Dr Thanh Luu DPsych CPsychol
I’m an experienced and approachable psychologist with a special interest in complex trauma. I completed my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University. Since then I held a variety of clinical, supervisory, and managerial positions in the NHS, criminal justice system, charity and private sector. I am experienced in service design and delivery, and working in multi-disciplinary teams and complex settings. These include specialist treatment teams for substance misuse, sexual violence, and in prisons and probation (UK, Jersey HMP La Moye).
Social equality is close to my heart and I worked for mental health charities who support individuals from BME communities; young people who identify as LGBTQ+; and individuals who were homeless.
I am experienced in the assessment and treatment of complex trauma, depression, anxiety, substance misuse, eating disorders, OCD, and other mental health difficulties. I currently work with adults and children above the age of 12.
I am honoured to be a trustee with the Jersey Recovery College. I also work with Public Health Jersey and the States of Jersey Police.
When I’m not working, I train my Romanian rescue pup, swim in the sea, or get dragged along to do stupid challenges like a triathlon.

“I worked with Dr Thanh for over a year originally for childhood trauma and anxieties.
From the first appointment, I felt listened to and comfortable with this person’s abilities to help instill the changes I needed. Since becoming a mother I carried a lot of my childhood trauma over into my abilities to parent and was so desperate to ensure my child didn’t have the same experiences as I did. Dr Thanh helped me move past these insecurities and helped me focus on other elements that have also been clouding me. With her help, support, guidance, and genuine belief in me, she has reinstalled my confidence and assertiveness, removing my desires to people please. Since working with Dr Thanh I have grown so much as an individual and for the first time in a long time I can confidently say “I am OK with who I am and that is enough”. So massive thank you again Dr Thanh, you have been invaluable in make the changes within me.”
