About Asees
Asees Kaur is an AHPRA-registered psychologist who focuses on helping people make sense of difficult feelings. She builds calm, respectful spaces where clients can talk about anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and struggles with self-esteem. Sessions are practical and collaborative, guided by what each person needs right now.
Asees adapts her work to each client. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. She also draws on acceptance and commitment approaches and cognitive strategies to help people manage painful thoughts and painful patterns.
Background and approach
She favours a person-centred style that keeps the client in control of the pace and direction. That means listening first, then offering tools that fit the person’s life and interests. The goal is realistic change rather than quick fixes.
Asees has six years of clinical experience in Australia and continually updates her practice through professional development. She supports people facing mood disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD and a range of anxiety-related issues including panic and phobias. She also helps with relationship communication problems, immigration and multicultural concerns, post-traumatic stress, postpartum depression, and the fallout from separation or grief.
Sessions can run by video, phone, live chat or messaging to suit people’s schedules. Her approach is straightforward and warm. She works with people to set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and track progress over time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Asees directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and ACT translate to online care
Online therapy can use Narrative Therapy to help people re-author the stories that affect their mood and identity. In practice this means talking through life events, identifying recurring storylines, and experimenting with new meanings to reduce guilt, shame or hopelessness.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses values-based goals and simple exercises to build flexible action even when emotions are strong. Client-Centred Therapy underpins this work by keeping sessions paced to the person's needs and preferences, and by prioritising empathy and respect.
Finding the best approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, life circumstances and what feels manageable. That might mean combining narrative conversations with ACT exercises and some practical CBT skills for anxiety or panic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people keep a thread of support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
