About Le
Le Phuoc An Nguyen is an AASW social worker with six years' clinical experience in Australia. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns and family of origin issues. He also supports people facing mood disorders, compassion fatigue and major life changes.
An sees adults who want to understand how patterns from their upbringing affect their present life. Sessions cover attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency and feelings of shame or emptiness. He also helps people manage anger, bipolar disorder symptoms and career-related stress.
His approach draws on several practical therapies. He uses cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and ACT strategies to clarify values and improve day-to-day coping. He also brings narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice repeated patterns and the stories that keep them stuck.
In sessions he works in a straightforward way. Conversations aim to identify patterns from family of origin experiences and test small changes in thinking or behaviour. He balances exploring past influences with short-term strategies that reduce distress and improve functioning.
An has experience in a mental health clinic setting supporting adults and younger people with complex needs. He has a particular interest in grief and loss and in helping clients who want clearer boundaries and healthier ways of relating.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and using small actions to live in line with those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck from old patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful thinking. Narrative Therapy invites people to examine the stories they tell about themselves and to re-author those stories in ways that reduce blame and increase agency.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on the client's goals, preferences and life circumstances. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also reduce some barriers to getting help while keeping the focus on practical skills and exploring family of origin patterns.
