About Shiao-Wei
Shiao-Wei Lin is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and the emotional fallout from major life events. She uses straightforward, warm conversation to help clients make sense of what they are feeling. Her approach aims to make each person feel heard and understood before moving on to practical steps.
With ten years of experience and BACP accreditation, she draws on humanistic ideas and a range of practical methods. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour. The aim is to spot small changes that can lead to steadier moods and clearer decisions.
Shiao-Wei helps people cope with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, depression and addictions. She also supports those dealing with family and relationship strain, sleep problems, low self-esteem and parenting stress. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is also listed among her areas of focus.
Her work combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused steps. Internal Family Systems ideas are used when helpful to look at different parts of a person's inner life. She adapts methods to each person rather than sticking to a fixed formula.
Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and are suitable for adults. Shiao-Wei aims to help people regain balance and move toward clearer goals, whether that means reducing anxiety, repairing communication, or building everyday routines that feel more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client is listened to closely so they can understand their feelings and decide next steps. It helps with low mood, relationship stress and major life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses simple exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood over time.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose techniques that match the person's goals and comfort level, and may blend methods as needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during the day. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum and practising skills between meetings, while still working directly with a registered or accredited professional.
