Lye Fong Lee, ACA

Lye Fong Lee is an ACA counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based help for day-to-day struggles. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese to suit different cultural backgrounds.

Her approach uses straightforward techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic methods. That includes elements of cognitive behaviour work, mindfulness practice, solution-focused strategies and strengths-based counselling. The aim is to help people develop coping skills, improve communication and build resilience without jargon or complicated steps.

Lye Fong has worked in individual counselling and couples counselling, and has provided Employee Assistance Program support and WorkSafe Victoria referrals. She also has experience delivering online telehealth counselling to clients from diverse backgrounds. Her practical experience helps her tailor strategies to what will fit a person’s life and needs.

Sessions are geared toward small, achievable changes rather than quick fixes. People often work on clearer thinking, better routines, managing difficult emotions and repairing communication with others. Lye Fong keeps goals concrete and reviews progress so people can see what is working.

She brings five years of professional counselling experience to her practice and uses plain language in sessions. Prospective clients are asked to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online counselling

Evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behaviour approaches and mindfulness are easy to adapt for remote sessions. Cognitive behaviour work focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce stress and anxiety. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to manage strong emotions and improve focus.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client, try techniques that fit their daily life and adjust based on feedback. This collaborative process helps match tools to goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-up check-ins that feel brief and practical. It can also make it simpler to access multilingual support when that is needed. If a client is unsure which approach will suit them, the therapist will help decide during the first sessions.
