About Reconnect Centre
Reconnect Centre is a psychologically led, specialist centre dedicated to supporting adults living with persistent pain, chronic health conditions, trauma, emotional health concerns and other complex or persistent symptoms. We recognise the interconnected relationship between mind, body, emotions, and physical health, and our approach reflects that understanding.
Our approach is grounded in emotional depth, compassion, and clinical integrity. We provide evidence-informed, person-centred care for people navigating complex and interconnected experiences, considering the whole person rather than viewing physical and emotional health in isolation.
Appointments are available in person at our South Yarra clinic and via secure telehealth.
Our Philosophy
Emotion-Focused Care
We believe that lasting change comes from understanding our emotions, experiences, and nervous system responses, not just our thoughts. Our work is grounded in emotional insight, and we aim to support clients to gently explore what's beneath the surface, at a pace that feels manageable and safe.
Evidence-Based Practice
Our approach is informed by evidence-based therapies and current clinical research, including approaches that recognise the interaction between emotions, the nervous system, physical health, and psychological wellbeing. While Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT) is a significant influence on our work, we tailor our approach to the individual, recognising that no single model is right for every person.
Care with Intention
How care is delivered matters. Reconnect Centre offers both in-person and secure telehealth, allowing care to be shaped around individual needs and circumstances. Whether we meet in the same room or online, we prioritise depth, connection and a therapeutic environment that supports meaningful work.
Meet the Founder
Reconnect Centre was founded by Ada Kuang (she/her), a Clinical Psychologist with a decade of experience supporting adults living with persistent pain, emotional distress, trauma, and mental health challenges.
Ada's clinical experience, particularly her work within a multidisciplinary Persistent Pain Service, has shaped her understanding of the complex relationship between emotional wellbeing, physical health, and the nervous system. Working alongside physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and medical practitioners reinforced her appreciation for collaborative, whole-person care.
Her therapeutic approach is primarily informed by Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT), with a particular interest in how emotions, past experiences, and patterns of responding to stress may contribute to ongoing psychological and physical distress.
Ada founded Reconnect Centre to provide a space where individuals feel genuinely understood and supported in exploring the relationship between their emotional and physical experiences.At the heart of the practice is her belief in the importance of connection, compassion, and meaningful, individualised care.
