About Yatong
Yatong Wen is an AASW-accredited social worker with four years of clinical experience in community mental health. He draws on his own experience of living with ADHD to connect with people who feel out of step and to offer practical support. Sessions are conversational and grounded, aiming to make everyday life feel more manageable.
Yatong focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also helps people dealing with self-esteem, impulse control and the sense of isolation that can come with long-term emotional pain.
How Yatong works
He accepts the reality of complex problems and works step by step to reduce overwhelm. In therapy he uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioural strategies and acceptance and commitment techniques. He also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at early relationship patterns that still affect day-to-day life.
Sessions emphasise practical skills, clearer thinking and small changes that add up over time. Yatong offers a calm, non-judgemental space where a person’s story is heard and respected. He can support people processing traumatic experiences and those recovering from crisis events.
He also provides integration support after challenging non-ordinary experiences when that is clinically appropriate. Sessions are available in English and Mandarin and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to the process on the site.

How Yatong’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviours to change mood and functioning. It often helps with worry, depression and practical coping skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Yatong will talk through your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, with practical tools introduced when they are most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for a full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing, short-form contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep up with regular practice between sessions.
