About Lye
Lye Fong Lee is an ACA counsellor with five years of experience working in Australia. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also works with related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, and caregiver stress.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses everyday language to help people notice patterns, try new coping strategies, and practice communication skills. Lye Fong focuses on small, manageable steps so conversations do not feel overwhelming.
Her background includes individual counselling, couples counselling, and Employee Assistance Program support. She has taken referrals linked to WorkSafe Victoria and has provided online telehealth counselling for people from varied cultural backgrounds. This range has shaped how she supports both immediate problems and longer-term change.
Lye Fong uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused work, and a strengths-based approach. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thinking, practise calming and grounding strategies, and set realistic goals for behaviour and relationships.
She offers counselling in several languages: English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay, and Hokkien. People who prefer to communicate in those languages can discuss that when arranging a first appointment.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book their first session. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based techniques mentioned by the counsellor include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness involves simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce reactivity to stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try approaches that suit the client’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time as the client notices what helps.
The original biography notes online telehealth counselling, workplace Employee Assistance Program support and WorkSafe Victoria referrals as parts of her experience. If you want online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a lunch break or a quieter window for a session.
