About Yan
Yan Jin is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and parenting challenges. She speaks English and Mandarin and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. Yan describes herself as someone who has learned from her own life challenges and uses that experience to relate to others.
Yan uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and make space for values-driven actions.
How Yan works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to look at unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy guides how she listens - giving people time to be heard and respected. Clients can expect clear, simple tools and conversations that focus on what matters now.
Yan often helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD-related concerns and panic or social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with body image, multicultural and immigration issues. Yan completed a Master of Counselling at Murdoch University and holds ACA credentialing, which she uses to inform her practice.
She works with adults and young adults to set realistic steps toward change. Work typically happens through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and stay committed to what matters. It is useful for stress, anxiety and making changes that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and giving clients space to be heard and understood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yan will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day pressures to decide which methods to try. She often combines elements from ACT, CBT and Client-Centred work so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
