About Yatong
Yatong Wen is an AASW-accredited social worker with four years of clinical experience in community mental health. He draws on his own experience of ADHD to connect with people who feel out of step or overwhelmed. He aims to offer clear, practical support during hard moments and ongoing struggles.
Yatong focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and ADHD. He also helps people navigate complex emotions like guilt, shame, emptiness and isolation.
Background and approach
He works with clients who face issues such as impulsivity, communication problems, attachment wounds and life-purpose questions. In sessions he uses straightforward methods from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside person-centred and attachment-based ideas. Conversations are grounded and goal-focused, with practical steps to try between sessions.
He pays attention to past wounds while also looking at what can be changed now. Yatong has experience supporting people through acute distress and longer-term recovery. He has training in suicide prevention and crisis response from his community mental health work.
That background informs how he keeps conversations steady when emotions run high. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and are delivered online through a mix of video, phone, live chat and messaging. He describes therapy as a collaborative process and works with each person to find approaches that suit their needs and daily life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Systemic thinking looks at how relationships and daily routines shape a person’s wellbeing. It helps identify patterns that keep problems cycling and points to small changes that can shift things over time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and committed action. It teaches ways to notice difficult thoughts and move toward things that matter, which can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yatong will talk through your goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as needs change, for example combining ACT exercises with practical cognitive-behavioural strategies or attachment-focused conversation.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats - video calls for full conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging for shorter check-ins. Video suits deeper therapeutic work, phone can fit a break at work, and messages or chat are useful for tracking progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
