Christine Yeung

CEO and Founder | Psychologist

I have devoted my professional life to solving the disconnections and loneliness epidemic. To address this, I am building a scalable, system-wide, AI-powered platform to prevent loneliness, optimise social connections and belonging.

As a psychologist specialising in organisational psychology, my key skills lie in tackling human problems at the systems level. To do this, I develop robust data-informed frameworks, which I combine with solutions based in holistic medicine and a strong focus on human actualisation.

I started my career in psychometrics, working with large organisations across industry sectors. This corporate career was interspersed with work on global governance with the United Nations. This early experience gave me first-hand insights on the structural shortcomings of dominant approaches to mental health and well-being. So, in 2016, I founded Beyond Story, an organisation built to serve as a platform to pilot face-to-face MVP’s of new methodologies to address loneliness. Over the past 5 years, Beyond Story has successfully trained range of people-focused solutions to optimise connections and collective performance, with corporate clients, communities and individuals.

I combine this work with grassroots engagement, focused on communities affected by loneliness through targeted programs against racism, and an NFP that I founded, gathering Asian-Australian organisational psychologists. Finally, I intervene in various forums to improve our understanding of social and environmental causes i.e. loneliness as the root of Depression and Anxiety – how to prevent it, in the first place.

My approach to mental well-being combines two key principles: precision and humanism. I believe in precise analysis – data-driven diagnostics that enable a customised understanding of whole-person / whole-organisation issues. I believe in humanistic interventions – solutions driven by conscious intentionality, tapping into the potential of each individual to be their own agent of growth and transformation.
