Heyjin Oh, AASW

Heyjin Oh is an accredited social worker (AASW) with 4 years of professional experience working in mental health. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, depression and major life changes, drawing on practical skills to help clients manage emotional challenges and move forward.

Heyjin works collaboratively with each person to build an open, non-judgemental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. She tailors her approach to individual needs and encourages honest, compassionate reflection to promote understanding and change.

Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing and family therapy. These methods are used to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, develop coping strategies and support healthier communication within relationships and families. Heyjin aims to help people develop practical skills for day-to-day wellbeing while navigating life transitions and emotional difficulties.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take practical steps towards a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression and adjusting to life changes by focusing on what matters most rather than on symptom elimination alone.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It is often useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues and family conflict, helping clients to understand and change interaction patterns that undermine connection.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by teaching practical strategies to manage symptoms and build coping skills. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress and depressive symptoms and supports clear, goal-focused work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is explored collaboratively. Heyjin works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with appropriately qualified or registered professionals offers flexibility in how people engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes and connect with therapists from different locations while working towards practical wellbeing goals.
