About Qing
Qing (Christina) Chen is an AASW social worker with ten years of experience supporting people through relationship strain, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem and career stress. She speaks English and Mandarin and offers a culturally responsive approach for people from Chinese backgrounds. Christina works in a straightforward, person-focused way.
She listens to what matters most, helps people name their difficulties, and then practises practical steps together. Sessions often include simple skills for managing mood, motivation and sleep, as well as strategies for clearer communication and setting boundaries.
How Qing works
Her background includes work with anxiety, depression and emotional regulation. Christina also assists people experiencing attachment concerns, body image distress, chronic pain or long-term health issues, and loneliness. She draws on approaches that suit each person's needs rather than following a single method.
In sessions she uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside mindfulness and client-centred methods. This mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviours, and reconnect with their values and relationships. Christina describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She helps people set small, achievable goals and practises skills in session that can be used between meetings. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at building confidence and clearer day-to-day coping.

Online support options
Approach-led online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being controlled by them and then take action towards what matters. This approach supports people dealing with low mood, anxiety and difficulties finding meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going and practising small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms and improve sleep or mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses and improving how people express needs and connect in close relationships.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences, suggest approaches that might help, and adjust methods as you go. You and the therapist work together to try techniques and see what fits best for your situation.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls are useful for in-depth work and practising skills with visual feedback. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help make it easier to access consistent support around existing commitments.
