About Siyue

Siyue Zhang is an AASW social worker who uses gentle, practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She aims to make the room feel open and non-judgemental so clients can talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Siyue acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and she welcomes that first step. Siyue draws on approaches such as the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide sessions.

She focuses on skills that people can practise between meetings, such as noticing unhelpful thinking, improving communication and building routines that support sleep and mood. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, self‑esteem, addictions, grief and trauma.

Siyue also supports people facing career stress, parenting strain, ADHD challenges and changes related to ageing or caregiving. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care matters, body image and communication difficulties.

Sessions are available in English and Mandarin and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Siyue has five years of professional experience working with people in Australia and aims to partner with each person to find practical, achievable steps forward.

She keeps language plain and practical in sessions, and works collaboratively to set goals that fit each person’s life. If someone prefers short check‑ins or longer weekly sessions, Siyue adapts the pace to match their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Gottman Method techniques focus on how people communicate and manage conflict. These ideas help identify patterns in interactions and build practical habits for clearer, calmer conversations and improved closeness.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck, and to commit to valued actions. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes that matter. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns, and helps people create more supported ways of connecting.

Siyue works with clients to discover which approach, or combination, best fits their goals. This is done together in session, with an openness to adjust based on what feels most helpful and realistic for the person’s life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to attend sessions. Video calls are suited to deeper conversations and face‑to‑face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check‑ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
