About Us
Chiu Lau
Chiu (she/her) is an AHPRA-registered Clinical Psychology Registrar. She holds a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of South Australia, a Postgraduate Diploma in Science from the University of Sydney, and, in 2023—13 years after her initial registration—a Master of Clinical Psychology from the University of New England.
Chiu began her career in 2003 as an early childhood intervention therapist. Since then, she has worked across a range of specialised services, gaining proficiency in the areas of mental health, trauma, chronic pain & fatigue, autism and neurodevelopmental differences, learning and intellectual disabilities, rare genetic conditions, carer and sibling support, and gender-diverse experiences.
She is a proud member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPi) and the Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health (AUSPATH).
Chiu has conducted research with the University of Sydney exploring the role of personality traits in the acculturation of minority groups in Australia. This research enhanced both her competencies in case conceptualization and her empathetic support of people with varying neurotypes, abilities, gender, and sexual identities.
Clients describe Chiu as thorough, efficient, down-to-earth, and practical. She works with a strengths-based, trauma-informed, person-centred lens—offering a no-BS, affirming approach grounded in science and values.
Chiu founded Possibilities Psychological Services in 2012. Possibilities was recognised as Best New Business by the NSW Small Business Commissioner and the Business Enterprise Centre (BEC) Australia in 2013.

Theodore (Teddy) Lau
Teddy was born in January 2014. He has Maltese and Poodle parents. Teddy specialises in Cute Therapy® and Dog Phobia Gradual Desensitization treatment. Despite failing his therapy dog training program due to being too excited and happy when he meets human friends, Teddy still takes his responsibilities seriously. His main job at Possibilities is customer service, where he greets clients in the reception area and enthusiastically ushers them and Mummy into the clinic room. Teddy has grown up in a clinic environment, therefore he is child-friendly.
Possibilities Alumni
From 2014 to 2019, Possibilities operated as a private group practice. Recognising how competitive the psychology field can be, we made it our mission to create a meaningful launchpad for early-career psychologists, provisional psychologists, and undergraduate students.
Our training clinic was developed by senior psychologists who believed in equipping student psychologists with not only clinical skills, but the right values and mindset. Today, our alumni work across mental health, disability, education, child protection, HR, addiction, and trauma support services.
We’re proud of our Possibilities family and all they’ve achieved. Many continue to work in private practice, and we maintain a best-practice referral network to connect you with them. Please don’t hesitate to book with them — they’re excellent.
