Fagus Psychology was founded by Yalei Wilson (they/them) in 2023. Yalei is a Trans Non-Binary Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience supporting the mental health and wellbeing of Trans and Gender Diverse (TGD) people across public, private and community settings.
Having navigated the healthcare system as a Trans person, Yalei brings a deeply informed perspective shaped by both affirming and challenging experiences of care. This insight underpins their commitment to creating safer, more inclusive and genuinely affirming mental health and organisational spaces.
Yalei’s work providing therapeutic, training and consultation services is grounded in respect for the diversity of identities, bodies and experiences within the LGBTIQA+SB community. They recognise the complexity and strength inherent in experiences of gender affirmation and self-discovery, and the vital role of tailored, evidence-informed support for individuals, families and organisations.
Their therapeutic and facilitation approach is person-centred, collaborative, and empowering, recognising that each individual is the expert in their own life and experiences. Yalei strives to create spaces, both therapeutic and educational, that honour each person’s unique needs, values and goals. Through Fagus Psychology, Yalei aims to combine lived experience with professional expertise to strengthen gender-affirming care across lutruwita/Tasmania.
