About Fang

Fang Liu is a PACFA clinical counsellor with five years' professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, depression, addictions and parenting concerns, among other areas. Fang speaks English and Mandarin and practises in Australia.

Fang uses client-centred and emotionally focused ways of working. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify current patterns and feelings. She often looks at how childhood relationships influence behaviour now, including family of origin issues and attachment concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and on attachment-based ideas to explore relational patterns. That combination is used to help people manage mood, anxiety, addictive behaviours and struggles with intimacy or communication.

Fang has experience working with people who have ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, bipolar disorder and complex dissociation alongside mood or substance issues. She pays attention to practical coping strategies alongside talking through feelings and relational patterns.

People who choose Fang can expect straightforward sessions that balance talking, reflection and skills practice. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model.

How Fang applies therapy online and her main approaches

Fang combines client-centred work with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on open conversation and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and clearer about their priorities. Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns shape current bonds and reactions, which can help with family of origin issues and intimacy concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy breaks down unhelpful thoughts and offers practical strategies to change behaviour and manage mood or anxiety.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Fang will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as sessions progress. She aims to match tools and conversation to the person's needs rather than using one fixed method.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins if needed. It also means sessions can be scheduled around work breaks or family responsibilities. Appropriately qualified counsellors can adapt exercises, homework and discussion for remote sessions so the practical work continues between meetings.
