About Siyue
Siyue Zhang is an AASW social worker with five years' clinical experience. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they’re feeling and work out practical next steps. Siyue uses clear, down-to-earth language and steady support to help people take the first difficult steps towards change.
Siyue focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
Her work extends to grief, trauma and recovery from addictive patterns, and she is comfortable addressing complex life transitions and career concerns. Her approach mixes practical tools and compassionate listening. Siyue draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment methods to build valued action, and attachment-based work to improve close connections.
She aims for sessions that leave people with small, manageable steps to try between meetings. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. Siyue supports people who want a collaborative, gently challenging counsellor who balances strategy with empathy.
She encourages simple experiments and real-world practise rather than long explanations. People interested in starting therapy can expect a straightforward first session to set goals and priorities. Siyue often checks in on progress and adapts tools to suit the person’s life and routines.
Approach choices and online therapy options
Siyue commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action despite uncomfortable feelings, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce distress and improve daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Siyue will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their goals and preferences. This is a joint process where strategies are tested and adjusted based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversational session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or written reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and busy schedules, while keeping regular contact and continuity of care.
