About Fang
PACFA registered counsellor Fang Liu has five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD and autism spectrum concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and take place in Australia.
Fang uses a person-centred approach alongside emotionally-focused methods. She aims to shape conversations around what each client brings to the room. That means listening for attachment patterns, relationship dynamics and recurring behaviours, then talking through ways to change them.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Those techniques are used to manage anxiety, sleeping problems, anger and mood swings in practical steps. Motivational strategies can be part of sessions when substance use or motivation to change is a focus.
Fang pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns. She works with separation, blended family problems, fatherhood issues and communication breakdowns. She also supports people living with dissociation, structural dissociation-related symptoms, and co-morbidity where several concerns overlap.
Her style is direct and conversational. Sessions typically involve talking, reflecting on patterns and trying out new ways of relating. People who want to get started use the site button to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches are applied in online work
Fang combines person-centred practice with emotionally-focused work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred counselling emphasises listening and reflecting back what the client says to clarify feelings and priorities. Emotionally-focused therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive interaction, which can help with relationship and attachment concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into steps that can be practised between sessions.Deciding which approach to emphasise is part of the first weeks of work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adjust the focus based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs, preferences and goals guide which mix of approaches is used.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep regular appointments and apply new skills between sessions.
