About Lye

Lye Fong Lee is an Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Level 3 registered counsellor with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions may be conducted in several languages including English, Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese.

Her work focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. She draws on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to address unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. She also uses solution-focused methods and a strengths-based outlook to support clearer decision-making and better communication.

Clients consult her for individual counselling, couples counselling, Employee Assistance Program support, WorkSafe Victoria referrals, and online telehealth. She has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on goals that matter to each person.

In sessions she helps people develop healthier coping strategies, improve how they communicate, and increase resilience when facing setbacks. Practical tools and short-term goals are often used to create momentum and make small changes feel achievable.

Her multilingual ability means she can hold sessions in several languages to reduce misunderstanding and make complex topics easier to discuss. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options using the service's matching and booking steps.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness practices. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

She also uses solution-focused strategies that concentrate on practical steps and small goals. Those techniques are aimed at creating momentum quickly, for people who want to move from feeling stuck to trying clear, manageable changes. Together these approaches give a mix of short-term tools and longer-term thinking work, and the therapist will help decide which fits best for a client's situation and preferences.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the biography lists online telehealth but does not detail every option. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will collaborate on session length and focus so therapy matches day-to-day life and practical constraints.
