She holds AASW, the credential associated with accredited social workers in Australia, and brings a warm, person-centred style to her practice that emphasises collaboration and practical support.

Her work focuses on recognising each person’s strengths and building resilience so they can move toward the life they want. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and draw on evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, within a trauma-informed framework. Xiaoxiao aims to create a supportive pace for exploration, helping clients identify goals and working alongside them to achieve meaningful change.

Reaching out for help is a significant step, and Xiaoxiao approaches that step with respect and encouragement. She is available to support people through practical strategies and reflective work, offering ongoing guidance as clients navigate change, cope with challenges and pursue greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replace them with more constructive patterns. It is a practical, skills-based approach often used for anxiety, depression, panic and stress-related problems.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people explore their own motivation for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck, ambivalent about goals, or needs help building confidence to make changes in areas such as career, health or habits.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Xiaoxiao aims to collaborate with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. Approaches can be adapted over time as priorities shift and new insights emerge.

Online therapy with Xiaoxiao is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions around work, caregiving and daily life. These options make it easier to access support from home or other locations, and allow ongoing contact between sessions in ways that suit different communication styles and needs.
