About Fang

Fang Liu is a PACFA clinical counsellor in Australia with five years of professional experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties and lists trauma, addiction and mood concerns among her areas of focus.

She commonly helps people coping with autism spectrum traits and attention differences, and those managing depression, bipolar symptoms and substance use. Fang also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. LGBT concerns and intimacy-related issues are part of her practice as well.

Fang uses approaches that centre the client and their emotional experience. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the person in the room, and on feelings that come up in relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try out different behavioural experiments.

In practical terms sessions look at patterns from a person's family of origin, attachment history and current relationships. Fang addresses abandonment and attachment issues alongside communication problems and blended family challenges. She works with people impacted by domestic violence, separation and first responder stresses as part of these broader themes.

Her background includes work with structural dissociation, trauma and complex post-traumatic responses. Fang offers therapy in English and Mandarin and uses a collaborative approach to set goals and review progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Fang commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand connection and distance in their relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room, using honest dialogue to uncover what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy breaks down thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps and tests practical changes to reduce unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Fang will discuss goals and preferences with the client and suggest which approaches to emphasise. This is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed over several sessions.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, reducing travel time and making it easier to keep regular check-ins. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when those practical adjustments suit someone better.
