About Tram
Tram Truong is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical support for people facing trauma, mood problems and major life changes. She speaks English and Vietnamese and aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk about painful experiences and small daily pressures. Tram works from a trauma-informed, strengths-based and person-centred perspective.
She helps people identify what matters to them, build on existing strengths and create step-by-step plans for change.
How Tram works
Conversations focus on what is useful now and on simple actions a person can try between sessions. Her practice covers a range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood issues, panic, and the effects of abuse or sexual assault. Tram also supports people struggling with shame, guilt, loneliness, relationship and blended-family issues, and questions about life purpose.
She uses clear communication and collaborative problem-solving in sessions. That might mean setting small goals, practising coping strategies, or working through how past experiences affect current choices. Tram aims to make progress feel realistic and measurable.
With three years of professional experience, Tram combines practical advocacy with therapeutic support. She emphasises recovery-oriented work and believes people can rebuild meaningful lives after adversity. To begin, readers are invited to complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

Practical approaches for online therapeutic support
Tram uses trauma-informed and strengths-based methods that focus on what helps a person now. A trauma-informed approach means attention to how past harm affects current behaviour and feelings, with care taken to avoid re-traumatisation. This helps people coping with abuse, assault or post-traumatic stress. A strengths-based approach involves identifying existing skills and supports and using those as a foundation for change; it is useful for building self-esteem and mapping small, achievable steps forward.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit the person's needs, preferences and goals. Together they will try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions remain practical and goal-focused.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments without travel. If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are arranged per therapist. Online conversations can support regular check-ins, short progress reviews and planning between face-to-face meetings when that suits a person's schedule.
