Shu-Han Liu , AASW

Shu-Han Liu is an AASW social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She welcomes conversations about body image, isolation, money worries and multicultural concerns. Her work also covers aging issues, attachment and obsessive-compulsive behaviour when these connect to a person's everyday wellbeing.

Shu-Han uses a gentle, collaborative style in sessions. She listens actively and encourages two-way interaction so people can steer their own progress. Conversations focus on practical steps and emotional understanding rather than jargon or long lectures.

She blends professional practice with lived experience as a peer supporter. That background informs her approach to domestic violence, immigration challenges and supporting people who care for someone with mental health needs. Shu-Han draws on that experience when offering psychosocial support and everyday strategies.

Sessions tend to be calm and paced to the individual's needs. Shu-Han helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build on what already works. She aims to make each session feel constructive and respectful.

Shu-Han has three years' experience in social work across diverse communities in Australia. She works in English and focuses on making therapy approachable for people who may feel nervous about starting. To begin, clients choose a subscription plan, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session.

Approach and online session options

Shu-Han draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify and change unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour by practising small, manageable changes between sessions; this can help with anxiety, mood problems and obsessive-compulsive behaviours. Another focuses on trauma-aware conversations that pace work according to what a person can handle, combining emotional support with practical coping strategies for triggers and distress.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and past experiences to find what feels most useful. Clients are encouraged to steer the pace and try different techniques to see what helps in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow more frequent, brief contact and can fit around work or family commitments.
