Evidence-based techniques and online counselling options
Many of Lye Fong's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more helpful ways of thinking and acting. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their thoughts and bodily responses without judgement, which can reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional awareness. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear short-term goals and find practical steps that move a person towards their priorities.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt methods over time as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in during a work break. It can also allow people to use audio-only approaches when they prefer not to be on camera or to choose a shorter session when time is limited.
