About Qiuyan
Qiuyan Yan is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Qiuyan also has experience supporting people with control issues, separation and divorce, life purpose questions, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and workplace matters.
Qiuyan views clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps that build on existing strengths. Sessions are grounded in clear conversation about what is happening now and what changes are realistic in daily life. She talks clients through ways to manage anxiety, restore confidence, and cope with grief without using jargon.
When career pressure, study stress or the early-adulthood transitions feel overwhelming, Qiuyan helps people break problems into smaller, manageable tasks. She works with clients on goal-setting, motivation and looking at choices around work and study. This approach suits people trying to find their direction after university or in early career stages.
Qiuyan can offer support for relationship concerns and separation where individuals want to understand patterns, set boundaries or rebuild their sense of self. She also helps people with social anxiety and phobia to practice realistic steps for social situations and workplace interactions.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button. Qiuyan encourages people to start with a single session to see if the approach feels right.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Qiuyan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One approach involves conversational problem-solving where the therapist and client identify immediate stressors, set small goals and try out new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. This helps with sleep, study or work focus and everyday anxiety.Another common technique is structured coping skills practice. That means learning specific ways to manage strong emotions, practising them in session and then applying them between appointments. This can be useful for grief reactions, social anxiety and workplace stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Qiuyan will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt methods together over time. The process is collaborative and aimed at finding what actually helps in day-to-day life.
