About Siyue
Siyue Zhang is an AASW social worker with five years of practical experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Sessions are relaxed and non-judgemental so people can speak honestly about difficult feelings.
She uses Narrative approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas to help people make sense of their stories. Siyue listens for patterns in how someone talks about themselves, then helps them try new ways of thinking and acting.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural tools when practical tasks are useful. Siyue has helped people dealing with grief, addiction and trauma, and those adjusting to big life changes. She also supports concerns such as parenting strain, caregiving stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and career uncertainty.
Her practice addresses identity and intimacy-related issues including LGBT concerns and body image. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Siyue explains what to expect and invites small first steps so the work feels manageable.
She aims to make therapy a collaborative process that fits each person’s pace. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Siyue encourages people to notice when they feel ready to change and brings practical steps to each conversation.

Online session options
How narrative and ACT work well online
Siyue blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas to shape online sessions. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories influence choices; it helps when someone wants to shift an unhelpful life narrative. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, useful for anxiety, stress and motivation. Attachment-based ideas help people understand patterns in relationships and how past bonds affect present behaviour.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Siyue listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests which methods might help most. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and manageable, and invites feedback about pace and focus throughout the work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and brief text or chat sessions suit quick check-ins or reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility so people can keep momentum while balancing work, family and other commitments.
