About Yan
Yan Jin is an ACA counsellor who offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She speaks English and Mandarin and draws on her own experience as an immigrant and parent to connect with clients. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
Yan uses short, focused conversations to sort priorities and ease day-to-day pressure. She helps with parenting strains, self‑esteem, panic and social anxiety, and life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at small, doable steps rather than complicated plans. Her background includes a Master of Counselling from Murdoch University and six years of professional counselling work. That time has covered a wide range of concerns including ADHD, autism and communication problems.
She often draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches along with acceptance-based ideas and a client-centred attitude. In a session Yan listens for what matters most to each person and then helps shape simple practices to try between meetings. She offers phone, video and text options to fit different routines and needs.
Many people find a short first plan helps reduce anxiety and restore a sense of control. Yan describes herself as a Christian and a mother of two teenagers, and she uses those life experiences when relevant. Her approach is collaborative - she works with clients to set realistic goals and to build small changes that add up over time.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting swept away by them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help with anxiety and life changes.Client‑centred therapy gives the client space to be heard and understood. The counsellor follows your lead, reflecting what you say so you can find your own solutions and build confidence over time.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to practise new behaviours, which can reduce panic and social anxiety symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Yan will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences and everyday life. Sessions can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what actually helps.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging offers flexibility. Video is useful for face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera, and messaging can suit short check‑ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
