Qiuyan Yan

Qiuyan Yan is an ACA counsellor in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, and career difficulties. Qiuyan also pays attention to control issues, separation and divorce, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, workplace challenges and young adult issues.

Qiuyan approaches sessions as a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides each step. She treats people as the experts in their own stories and helps them notice strengths they already have. In practice this means talking through specific worries, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and testing small changes between sessions.

Sessions often focus on practical skills that reduce day-to-day stress and anxiety. Qiuyan works with clients to build self-esteem and confidence through clear, doable tasks. Career conversations look at motivation, options and steps that make work feel more manageable.

When grief or loss is present, Qiuyan offers steady, structured support so people can track how they are coping and what they need next. For relationship concerns and separation, the work concentrates on communication, boundaries and practical next steps rather than assigning blame.

Qiuyan speaks English and Mandarin and uses straightforward language in sessions. She encourages people to try one session and then reassess whether the approach feels useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Evidence-based approaches for change online

Qiuyan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and move forward. One common approach focuses on practical skill building for anxiety and stress - learning breathing or grounding strategies, testing beliefs that increase worry, and practising short behavioural steps to reduce avoidance. Another approach she uses looks at self-esteem and motivation through small tasks and behavioural experiments that build confidence over time.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Qiuyan will discuss what feels most relevant to the client’s goals and try methods that match those priorities. The plan is reviewed as work progresses so techniques can be changed if they are not helpful.

The therapist’s profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can access support between commitments. Appropriately qualified counsellors can adapt their methods to suit quieter settings, lower-bandwidth calls, or sessions where being on camera is not required.
