About Qing
Qing (Christina) Chen is an AASW social worker with ten years of experience in mental health care in Australia. She supports people with relationship difficulties, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career stress and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
Christina uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her core approaches. She combines this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred and mindfulness practices to respond to whatever is most helpful. In sessions she focuses on emotional experience and patterns that keep people feeling stuck.
Her wider practice covers attachment issues, communication problems, body image concerns and chronic pain or illness. She also works with feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and practical problems such as money and career strain. Migrant and multicultural concerns are part of her regular work.
Christina has a background working with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive behaviours and trauma-related responses. She uses guided breathing and relaxation alongside talk-based work to help manage strong feelings and sleep disruption. This combination aims to make sessions concrete and usable between appointments.
People can expect straightforward explanations and steps to try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How Christina blends EFT, ACT and CBT for online work
Christina often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with intense emotions and attachment patterns that affect relationships and daily life. EFT focuses on identifying emotional cycles and opening new ways of responding to feelings.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed actions, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for mood and sleep problems. ACT supports acceptance and action, while CBT targets thought and behaviour patterns that maintain distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Christina will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods so they fit those goals. She frames sessions as experiments to see what works and adjusts the plan together.
