About Fang

Fang Liu is a PACFA clinical counsellor who focuses on practical, person-centred care. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression and a range of other life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and draw on a mix of approaches to match each persons needs.

Fang has five years of professional experience supporting people through complex concerns such as bipolar disorder, addictions and ADHD. She also helps with grief, sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue and career stress. Her work includes attention to attachment and family of origin issues that often shape current difficulties.

Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to create a respectful, compassionate space. Fang listens first, then helps people name patterns that keep causing pain. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where practical strategies are needed to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Sessions are tailored to the person. Conversations focus on what matters most now and on small, achievable steps forward. Fang aims to help people feel clearer about their goals and more able to act on them.

People come to her for help with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, first responder stress and problems linked to trauma, dissociation or abandonment. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.

How Fang blends approaches for online work

Fang commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental listening stance and helps people feel heard before moving to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and mood challenges.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Fang will discuss goals, preferences and how a particular approach might suit the issue at hand. That helps clients and the counsellor agree on a plan and make adjustments over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, such as easier scheduling around work, avoiding travel time and choosing a quieter time for a focused conversation. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or more frequent appointments when needed, depending on what the therapist offers and the persons circumstances.
