About Yatong
Yatong Wen is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience in community mental health. He works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD. He speaks English and Mandarin and practices in Australia.
Yatong’s background includes direct support for people in acute distress and those facing long-term emotional pain. He draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside person-centred and attachment-informed ideas. He also offers integration support for people processing challenging experiences from non-ordinary states of consciousness, described in his original biography.
He often connects with people who feel out of step with the world, including those who identify as neurodivergent. His lived experience with ADHD shapes how he frames conversations about daily routines, focus and managing impulsivity. Sessions typically include practical strategies and space to make sense of emotional patterns.
When trauma is part of the story he works with attachment-related themes and grounding skills. He uses clear, step-by-step approaches from CBT and DBT to help manage mood, overwhelm and self-harm impulses. The work balances skill-building with listening and reflection.
People coming to him for help with life purpose, isolation or family problems can expect goal-focused sessions. He supports communication skills, processing guilt and shame, and managing co-occurring issues. To confirm current session options, readers should check the booking details before they schedule.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low motivation and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns and can help when abandonment, attachment issues or relationship struggles are central.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT skills for a period, then shifting to ACT ideas, or combining attachment-focused reflection with practical DBT-style strategies.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy schedules, and they can reduce time spent travelling. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and for using audio rather than video if that suits a client better. An initial matching questionnaire and first booking step will clarify how sessions are arranged and what to expect.
