About Lye

Lye Fong Lee is an Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Level 3 counsellor with five years of professional experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and low self-esteem. She works with people who struggle with depression and motivation and supports them through practical steps and clear conversation.

She offers straightforward, skills-based support. Sessions often focus on identifying current patterns, learning coping strategies, and practising communication skills. The aim is to make day-to-day life more manageable and to build confidence for decisions about work, study and relationships.

Her background includes individual counselling, couples counselling and Employee Assistance Program support, as well as WorkSafe Victoria-related referrals. She has experience working with clients from different cultural backgrounds and with varied life situations.

Her approach draws on evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioural methods, mindfulness and solution-focused work. She also uses strengths-based ideas to help clients notice what is already working and expand on it. This mix is used to address practical problems like sleep disruption, low motivation, anxiety in relationships and recurring negative thoughts.

She can conduct sessions in multiple languages, which helps with cultural context and clearer communication. People often choose to work with her when they want a direct, skills-oriented approach to managing pressure in early adulthood and beyond.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Her work uses evidence-based methods that focus on clear tools and short-term changes. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teach practical ways to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and worry. Mindfulness practice helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without over-reacting, useful for managing stress and rumination. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and strengths someone already has, suitable for tackling immediate problems and building motivation.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current difficulties, goals and preferences, and then try approaches that fit. They will review what helps and adjust the plan together as needed so sessions stay relevant to the client's life and aims.

The biography notes online telehealth experience but does not list all formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study or work schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means a therapist can use shared worksheets, guided exercises and follow-up messages to keep progress moving between sessions.
