About Le
Le Phuoc An Nguyen is a psychotherapist and an AASW accredited social worker with six years' experience in Australia. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma, and he lists LGBT concerns, relationship strain and mood disorders among his areas of focus. He also supports those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
An uses direct conversation and listening to help people talk through what feels stuck. Sessions are plain and practical. He notices strengths and encourages people to try small changes outside their comfort zone. Humour is sometimes part of the work.
He has clinical experience in a mental health clinic setting, supporting adults and young people with severe mental health issues. That background means he is used to working with complex histories and layered problems. He has a particular interest in grief and loss and the ways those issues affect daily life.
Le Phuoc An Nguyen draws on several approaches when planning sessions. He uses methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thinking and increase lived values. He also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of recurring patterns and family of origin issues.
Practical goals are clear in sessions - reducing overwhelming feelings, improving communication, and building small coping skills. Costs vary with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters. It can be useful for social anxiety, avoidance and making clearer choices about relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical exercises to reduce anxious reactions and test unhelpful beliefs. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and can help reframe long-standing patterns like shame, abandonment or family of origin issues.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT and narrative work over several sessions to see what helps most.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments when travel is difficult. Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. The therapist asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session, which helps match the practical format and clinical approach to the person's needs.
