About Shiao-Wei
Shiao-Wei supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting issues, and self-esteem struggles. Her additional focus areas include family of origin issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care matters, body image, communication and control challenges, and coping with loss or major life changes. She adapts theories and techniques to meet each person’s needs, drawing on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused ideas when appropriate.
In sessions she aims to create space for clients to be heard and to make sense of their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behaviour so they can move toward meaningful change and a more fulfilling life. She works with people aged 18 and over, offering individual therapy and couples work in both English and Mandarin, and accepts international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive therapeutic relationship in which the client is listened to without judgement. This approach helps people explore their feelings, gain self-awareness, and find their own paths forward when dealing with issues like self-esteem, grief, or relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties, and coping with life changes by teaching strategies that can be applied between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and goals rather than problems alone. It helps clients identify practical steps and small changes that move them toward realistic outcomes, which can be especially helpful for managing immediate stressors, relationship goals, and day-to-day coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Registered professionals collaborate with each client to clarify goals, consider preferences, and adjust methods as needed so the work feels relevant and effective. Shiao-Wei Lin will work with clients to determine which approaches suit their situation and to shape a plan together.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, family responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to access regular support, attend appointments from different locations, and maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life.
