About Yatong
Yatong Wen is an Accredited Social Worker (AASW) with four years of clinical experience in community mental health. He draws on his own experience of living with ADHD to connect with people who feel out of step with their surroundings. Sessions are grounded and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Yatong uses a mix of approaches that fit each person's needs. He commonly integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns, cognitive behavioural techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking, and acceptance-based strategies to tolerate difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and on realistic steps people can try between sessions. People come to him for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and self-esteem concerns, and for managing ADHD-related challenges. He also supports those dealing with attachment wounds, feelings of emptiness, shame or guilt, and difficulties with communication or impulse control.
He works with people facing self-harm thoughts and post-traumatic stress, providing steady, non-judgemental support. In session he aims to create a calm and respectful space where people feel heard and understood. Yatong pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and in relationships, and uses that information to guide practical changes.
He encourages small experiments that build skills and confidence. Yatong offers work in English and Mandarin. His background in community mental health has included crisis response and recovery-focused practice, which informs his approach to managing difficult moments and planning longer-term growth.

Online support
How approach shapes online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. It is useful for people who want to better understand strong feelings and how emotions affect their relationships and sense of self.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters most to a person and on taking values-guided action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression and ongoing distress by teaching flexible ways to respond rather than avoid unwanted experience.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they influence current relationships. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment fears, trust issues or recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yatong will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods that suit those aims. He treats the choice of method as a collaboration and adjusts the plan as the work progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travelling, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit short check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when life changes.
