Gang (William) Wang, AASW

Gang (William) Wang is a mental health clinician who combines clinical training with varied frontline experience across hospital psychiatric units, community mental health services, and forensic settings. He approaches care with an appreciation for both the fragility and resilience of people, having supported individuals through acute crises as well as the longer process of rebuilding lives, relationships and identities.

Before entering the mental health field, he spent nearly two decades in finance as an investment analyst and portfolio manager. That career transition gives him a practical understanding of the challenges involved in redefining purpose and professional identity, and it informs his work with people facing career crossroads, workplace stress, or the search for greater meaning in their work.

His therapeutic practice is grounded in evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Schema Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, balanced with reflections drawn from philosophical and spiritual traditions. He integrates existential questions about meaning and freedom with insights from Buddhist perspectives on attachment, and he emphasizes forgiveness and self-compassion as part of healing and personal growth.

Clients can expect a space that attends to both immediate symptoms and deeper questions of identity, purpose and how to live well. He works with a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and relationship difficulties, and he is attentive to the role of cultural background in shaping distress and recovery. He offers online sessions and practices in both English and Mandarin. He also holds the AASW credential - indicating membership in the Australian Association of Social Workers.
