About Guan
Dr. Guan Wang is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 13 years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and anger, and assists with relationship difficulties, motivation and self‑esteem. He sees concerns ranging from grief and career strain to sleep and eating issues, and supports those coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
His approach is problem-solving oriented and uses motivation techniques to build momentum. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Guan treats the person as the expert on their own story and works alongside them to test what changes feel possible and useful.
He draws on a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. That blend is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviours and shift rigid responses that fuel anger or persistent worry.
Work in sessions often includes clear goal-setting, behavioural experiments and skills practice. Guan emphasises short-term strategies as well as longer-term values-based changes. He also brings techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional regulation and relationship patterns are central to the concern.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking pathway.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. Online ACT work often focuses on identifying values and committing to small actions that align with those values, which can reduce anger and avoidance.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In remote CBT sessions clients practise noticing triggers, trying different responses and using behavioural experiments to test what changes anger and anxiety responses.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Remotely this can create space to clarify goals, explore motivation and build confidence to take practical steps between sessions.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the nature of the problem and then recommend which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted if something isn’t helping or if different skills are needed.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. It can also let sessions continue if someone relocates within Australia, but international clients are not currently accepted.
