About Siyue

Siyue Zhang is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about worries and feel heard. Siyue encourages small steps and practical change rather than quick fixes. She speaks English and Mandarin and aims to make each session clear and manageable.

Her day-to-day work focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. More specialised areas in her practice include trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Siyue draws on approaches that help people notice what matters to them and take useful action. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also applies client-centred listening and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotional regulation is needed.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with time spent setting realistic steps between meetings. Siyue works to help people build everyday routines for sleeping, eating and managing stress. Her style is calm, direct and compassionate, with an emphasis on practical tools people can try straight away.

To begin, Siyue asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their situation. She recognises that reaching out is a big step and supports people through that first contact.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what they value and take small steps toward those things, which is useful for stress, anxiety and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and choose or combine approaches that suit your needs. This is a collaborative process and may change as you make progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work while coping with life changes, such as shifting schedules or relocation, without promising a particular format.
