About Haijin
Haijin Fan uses a person-centred approach that emphasises the client's own strengths and choices. She combines practical techniques with compassionate listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Haijin is identified as an AASW social worker and has worked in counselling since 2017.
She speaks English and Mandarin and offers sessions in the language the client prefers. Her work often focuses on trauma and recovery. She offers trauma-informed support for people affected by abuse, domestic violence, adverse childhood experiences and migration stress.
How Haijin works
Haijin also helps with attachment wounds, abandonment feelings, isolation and the emotional impacts of family-of-origin problems. In session she draws on several evidence-based methods. This includes cognitive behavioural approaches to address unhelpful thinking, dialectical skills for emotion regulation, acceptance and commitment strategies for values-based change, and attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns.
She adapts techniques to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Haijin has three years of clinical experience working with a broad range of mood and trauma-related concerns. Her sessions are straightforward and collaborative - she listens, offers practical tools and supports clients to try small changes between meetings.
People can expect clear explanations and step-by-step options. Practical details are handled online. Haijin sees clients in Australia and does not take international clients.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and cost depends on location and the subscription chosen. To start, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Haijin uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression and mood concerns.She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps when communication problems, abandonment feelings or difficulty trusting others are central issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Haijin will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She adapts exercises and pacing so clients can try techniques at a comfortable pace and review what works.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter daily check-ins, written reflections or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
