About Fang
Fang Liu is a PACFA clinical counsellor in Australia with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship pain and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues and the everyday strain of caring for others.
Fang uses person-centred and emotionally focused ways of working. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what matters most to the client. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current reactions at home and in close relationships.
Her practice includes approaches from cognitive behavioural work and attachment-based thinking to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of relating. She also draws on Jungian ideas when dreams or deeper meaning become part of the work. This gives several ways to approach a problem rather than a single route.
Fang has experience supporting people with ADHD and autism, bipolar conditions, dissociation and complex trauma, and with addictions and recovery. She is used to working with overlapping problems where emotion, behaviour and relationships interact. That practical focus helps people manage day-to-day tasks and relationship strain.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. Fang asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before booking so she can understand priorities and make a plan for the first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Fang commonly uses attachment-based work and client-centred practice to help people understand relationship patterns and feel heard. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect trust and closeness now, and is useful for relationship strain and parenting tensions. Client-centred practice focuses on the person in front of the counsellor and uses reflective conversation to clarify goals and choices.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to address worry, low mood and unhelpful habits. CBT helps people notice thinking patterns and test small changes in behaviour, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep or day-to-day coping. Together these approaches give both emotional understanding and practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Fang will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She adjusts methods based on progress and the particular mix of concerns a person brings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around parenting, work and daily life, and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that better suits someone's routine.
