About Qian

Qian Wang is an AASW-accredited social worker with ten years' experience in mental health across Australia and New Zealand. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma or problems around eating. He speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and aims to make the first steps toward support as clear and manageable as possible.

Qian uses emotionally-focused ways of working alongside practical strategies to ease distress.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. He balances short-term coping skills with attention to feelings and relationships that matter in everyday life. People come for a range of concerns, from body image and eating issues to parenting strain and grief over family problems.

He also helps with attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, communication struggles, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress and co-morbid conditions where several problems overlap. His style is warm, direct and respectful. The room is used to name what’s happening, practise different responses, and notice patterns that keep people stuck.

Parents are supported to manage the strain of caring for children while maintaining their own wellbeing. Qian draws on approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. He offers a practical mix of emotion-focused therapy and skill-building to help people move toward clearer goals.

Online support

Emotion-focused care delivered online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and make sense of strong feelings and the interaction patterns that follow. It is useful for working through painful emotions, attachment wounds and relationship-related distress even when the work focuses on an individual’s internal experience.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It supports people trying to reduce avoidance, manage anxiety, or create a life that matters to them.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they affect current relationships and self-belief. This approach is helpful for people who struggle with abandonment fears, dependent or avoidant patterns, and long-standing trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Qian works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. He will discuss options and adjust the focus as therapy progresses so the plan fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and practise emotional work in real time. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer written reflection. These formats make it easier to access therapy across locations and schedules, and allow flexibility in how emotional and practical work is carried out.
