About Shiao-Wei
Shiao-Wei Lin is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship difficulties and addiction. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin, and she accepts international clients.
Shiao-Wei uses a humanistic, client-centred approach that focuses on helping a person understand their feelings and behaviour. She aims to listen and reflect so people can notice patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems when these approaches suit the issue at hand.
In practical terms she helps people talk through relationship strain, sleep problems, grief, family-of-origin issues and control problems. She also works with parenting concerns, blended family challenges, abandonment and adoption and foster-care related matters. Sessions address common consequences of stress such as low self-esteem, guilt and shame.
Shiao-Wei supports clients who want short-term coaching-style work as well as longer therapeutic exploration. She will discuss the most useful methods for the present concern and adapt her focus as goals evolve. Her aim is to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Shiao-Wei often combines client-centred work with structured techniques. Client-Centred Therapy involves active listening and reflection so a person can notice feelings and patterns. It helps when someone wants space to be heard and to make sense of their emotions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It can be useful for anger that shows up at work or in relationships by offering concrete skills to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods based on a person’s goals and preferences, and that plan can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, keep shorter check-ins during work breaks, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer sessions that do not use video, while others find face-to-face video helpful for emotional connection. A clear conversation about practical arrangements helps shape how therapy fits into everyday life.
