About Fang
Fang Liu is a PACFA clinical counsellor who draws on client-centred and emotionally focused ways of working. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strains and the legacy of trauma. Fang uses straightforward language and a practical focus so conversations stay useful and clear.
She has five years of professional experience supporting people with depression, addictions and bipolar concerns. She also helps with neurodiversity matters such as autism spectrum traits and ADHD, and with grief and major life changes.
How Fang works
Fang pays attention to how past attachments and family history shape current patterns. Her sessions combine listening with structured tools when helpful. Cognitive behavioural strategies are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Emotionally focused techniques help people identify and work with core feelings that shape relationships and intimacy. Fang adapts each plan to the person in front of her. She works in English and Mandarin and uses video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for sessions.
Practical goals and small steps are central to her approach. People seeking support are guided through a short intake and matching process before starting. Fang keeps the process simple so clients can begin work on issues such as parenting stress, career transition, sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem without extra complexity.

Online support options
How attachment, emotion and thinking meet online
Fang uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings. This approach helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues or patterns that repeat in partnerships. Client-centred work means the conversation stays focused on the person's priorities and pace, with the counsellor following and reflecting rather than directing the session. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used as needed to identify unhelpful thinking and to practise new coping habits that reduce anxiety and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Fang will discuss these methods with each person and decide together which best fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change, with brief reviews to check progress and adjust focus.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people pause and reply in their own time. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, parenting and everyday life, while still using the approaches described above.
