About Le
Le Phuoc An Nguyen is an AASW accredited social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns and trauma. He is often sought out for issues around self-esteem, coping with life changes, burnout and mood disorders. An brings a calm, warm presence to sessions and aims to build trust quickly so people can speak openly about difficult experiences.
An uses straightforward, practical approaches in therapy. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
How Le works
He values humour and strengths-based conversation while also encouraging gentle challenge when people want to grow outside their comfort zones. His background includes six years working in mental health settings, including a mental health clinic that supports people with complex trauma and severe mental health issues. That clinical experience informs how he responds to crises, grief and long-standing mood difficulties.
Therapy with An can combine short-term strategies and deeper work about life story and relationships. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, narrative and psychodynamic ideas, and a client-centred stance to tailor sessions to each person. Sessions aim to be practical and understandable, not full of jargon.
Sessions are offered in English and are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. If someone has a GP Mental Health Care Plan, An can provide bulk-billed sessions at no cost under that plan.

Online support options
How An’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and it focuses on values-based action to move life forward. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with difficult life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood issues and stress management. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's own experience, giving space and empathy while people find their own solutions; this approach supports those who need a steady compassionate presence.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the approach as needed. This is a collaborative process that combines what the person wants with methods that have helped others in similar situations.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility in timing and format while keeping the focus on practical work and emotional support.
