About Lye
Lye Fong Lee is an ACA counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based work. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. She also supports those coping with trauma, low self-esteem and motivation issues.
She uses short, clear steps that clients can try between sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change. Lye draws on techniques that help people spot unhelpful thinking, build small daily habits, and communicate more clearly with others.
Her background includes individual counselling, couples counselling and Employee Assistance Program support. She has experience with WorkSafe Victoria counselling referrals and has offered telehealth sessions to people from different cultural backgrounds. She brings five years of professional experience to her practice.
Lye speaks English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay and Hokkien, which helps when working with clients from diverse communities. She aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful of each person’s culture and story.
People typically work with her to create short-term plans and longer-term goals. Sessions often focus on building coping strategies, improving communication and recovering a sense of direction after difficult events. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits their needs.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online counselling
Many of the approaches Lye uses focus on practical changes people can apply between sessions. Cognitive behavioural methods help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness practices teach simple attentional skills and short grounding exercises that can reduce reactivity and improve focus. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and what is working well now to build momentum and confidence.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lye will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying methods, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The therapist has provided telehealth counselling in the past, but session formats in this listing are not specified here. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use phone or video in ways that suit their daily routines while they build coping skills and communication habits.
