About Yatong
Yatong Wen is an AASW social worker with four years' clinical experience in community mental health. He draws on his own experience of ADHD to connect with people who feel out of step with everyday expectations. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where concerns are heard and practical steps are discussed.
Yatong uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance strategies. He blends these with person-centred listening to help people clarify values, manage distress, and reduce anxious thinking.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to suit each person's needs and tolerance for emotional work. He has supported people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-harm struggles. He also helps with self-esteem, impulsivity, isolation and problems linked to attachment and abandonment.
He offers integration support for people processing challenging experiences from non-ordinary states of consciousness. In sessions he focuses on skills that can be used between meetings, such as grounding, emotion regulation, and flexible thinking. He also pays attention to how relationships and early experiences shape current reactions.
The aim is practical change alongside clearer self-understanding. Yatong works in English and Mandarin and practises in Australia. He uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles and schedules.
The process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling to find a good match.
Online approaches and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-world experiments. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems with impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yatong will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. He adapts tools and pacing based on what the person finds helpful, and checks in often to make adjustments together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in suits the day. Live chat and messaging can support people who prefer written reflection or need frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family responsibilities, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
