About Lye
Lye Fong Lee is an ACA counsellor with five years of counselling experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with the effects of trauma and abuse and helps people clarify what they want from their relationships.
She speaks English, Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese, which can help when cultural context and language matter in a session. Her work uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people find clearer ways of coping and communicating. Sessions are straightforward and focused on small, useful changes that can make daily life easier.
Her background includes work with individual clients and supporting workplace counselling referrals. She has experience working with people who have come through adoption and foster care pathways, those facing abandonment concerns, and with issues around attachment and commitment.
In sessions she guides people through strategies for managing anxiety and low mood, improving communication, and handling caregiver stress or chronic illness challenges. She also addresses body image, control and dependent personality patterns where these affect relationships or wellbeing.
Practical steps are a feature of her approach: identifying a problem, trying concrete techniques, and checking what helps. People are invited to set small goals and review progress each session. To begin, clients are asked to use the online matching and booking process so a first session can be scheduled.
How evidence-based methods work in online sessions
She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to stress and low mood. CBT-style techniques can be practical for anxiety, depression and relationship worries.Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness of thoughts and bodily reactions. These exercises aim to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences and preferences, then suggest which techniques to try. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The focus remains on practical tools and communication that can be used in day-to-day life.
