Annabel Chan

Annabel is a clinical and forensic psychologist with over 16 years of global experience in threat assessment, case consultation, and leadership across prisons, hospitals, universities, and private practice. As the current President of the Asia Pacific Association of Threat Assessment Specialists (APATAS), she leads the region’s premier professional network dedicated to advancing best practices in threat assessment and violence prevention.

Annabel specialises in helping organisations identify, assess, and manage risk, with a focus on fostering psychologically safe and inclusive environments. Her work combines evidence-based practice with trauma-informed and restorative approaches, supporting universities, corporations, and government agencies to navigate complex cases and build sustainable systems for early intervention.

Committed to amplifying the voices and lived experiences of minority groups, Annabel’s psychotherapy practice provides a safe and affirming space for LGBTQIA+, QTBIPOC, and neurodivergent communities. Drawing on both her professional expertise and lived experience as a queer, neurodivergent Chinese migrant, she brings cultural awareness, compassion, and strategic insight to her work, helping teams repair relationships, strengthen trust, and align their actions with shared values.
