Fang Liu, PACFA

Fang Liu is a PACFA clinical counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people cope. She uses a person-centred stance to make sessions feel like a conversation, and incorporates emotion-focused work to help people understand patterns in relationships and distress.

Fang has five years of practice supporting people with depression, anxiety and addictions. She also works with trauma, bipolar presentations, ADHD and autism-related challenges. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she adapts what happens in sessions to each person’s needs.

In therapy she pays attention to how past attachments and early family experiences affect present behaviour. Fang uses emotionally focused methods to help people name and manage feelings. She also draws on cognitive strategies to notice and change unhelpful thinking and daily habits.

Sessions are practical and conversational. A typical meeting might include checking current stresses, discussing patterns in relationships, and trying small experiments to shift thinking or routines. She aims to make steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Fang speaks English and Mandarin and works in Australia. Her style suits people wanting clear, down-to-earth help with stress, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain or everyday struggles like sleep and self-esteem. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

How attachment and cognitive work translate to online therapy

Fang draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions, and she uses that understanding to help people notice patterns in their connections and emotions. This approach can help with relationship strain, abandonment or attachment issues.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits, then test small changes to mood and routine. CBT-style approaches often suit people wanting practical steps for anxiety, sleep problems or coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Fang works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep momentum with regular appointments and try homework between meetings.
