He treats each person as the expert on their life and brings tools to help work through what feels blocking or painful.

He combines cognitive and behavioural techniques with emotion-focused work to help people respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.

He often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action, and from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centred principles guide the pace and tone of the work so people feel heard while they try new ways of coping.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. He works in Australia and does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to his schedule.

How online approaches and therapy methods work together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on what matters most. It uses values-based exercises and simple actions to move forward despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical ways to test and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when things feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and work with you to decide which methods suit your needs. Plans can be adjusted over time as progress and preferences become clearer.
Specific session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family routines. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only check-ins when bandwidth is limited, and focus on homework and real-life practice between meetings. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises for remote sessions so work stays practical and goal-focused.
