About Haijin
Haijin Fan is an AASW social worker who focuses on practical support for anxiety and related concerns. She speaks English and Mandarin and aims to make therapy approachable and straight‑forward for people feeling overwhelmed. She uses everyday language in sessions and works to build a calm space where worries can be talked through.
Sessions often start by identifying what matters most to the person and what small steps feel possible right now.
Background and approach
Haijin emphasises skills people can use between sessions to reduce stress and interrupt anxious patterns. Her background includes work with people who have experienced trauma, abuse and difficult family histories. Over three years of clinical practice, she has supported people with mood disorders, self‑esteem struggles, relationship difficulties and substance concerns.
She draws on a mix of strategies to fit each person's situation rather than one fixed method. Haijin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy approaches alongside attachment‑focused ideas. She explains techniques clearly and helps people try them in everyday life.
This practical focus helps people notice small changes over time. People looking for sessions in Mandarin or English will find Haijin able to work in either language. She offers online formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different routines and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take values‑based action. It can help when anxiety or avoidance keeps someone from doing what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for worry, low mood and specific anxious thoughts. Attachment‑based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns and help people understand connection and trust issues.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Haijin will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust techniques as the work progresses.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls support face‑to‑face interaction, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit quick check‑ins or people who prefer typing. These options increase flexibility, help maintain regular contact and make it easier to use therapy from wherever it fits into your day.
