About Qing
Qing (Christina) Chen uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical, evidence-based methods to help people feel steadier in their relationships and daily life. She is an AASW social worker with ten years of clinical experience. Qing speaks English and Mandarin and offers culturally aware care for people from Chinese backgrounds.
Qing focuses on relationship struggles, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career stress and depression. She also helps with attachment concerns, body image, chronic health impacts, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
Her work includes supporting people with guilt, shame, obsessive thoughts, and cultural or immigration-related stress. Her approach combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural strategies and mindfulness techniques. Sessions aim to surface what matters most, notice unhelpful patterns and practise different ways of responding.
Qing uses calm, straightforward explanations and simple exercises you can try between sessions. She draws on a decade of experience to tailor tools to individual needs. This includes practical steps for better sleep, ways to rebuild confidence, and techniques to manage mood and intrusive thoughts.
Qing believes clients bring strengths and that therapy is a collaborative effort to find workable changes. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and are suitable for people who prefer a culturally informed perspective. Qing encourages small steps and clear goals so progress can be noticed over time.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Qing uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift painful emotional patterns in relationships and personal life. EFT focuses on the emotions beneath reactions and helps people create new, more helpful ways of connecting with themselves and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build small, practical steps toward a meaningful life while accepting difficult feelings. ACT helps when low motivation, rumination or avoidance are getting in the way.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Qing will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process stays collaborative and practical.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow visual cues for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for short check-ins or ongoing written practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life and to keep continuity between sessions.
