Qian Wang, AASW

Qian Wang is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AASW) qualified to provide psychotherapy under Medicare Better Access, which means eligible sessions can attract a Medicare rebate. He has ten years of experience in mental health work across Australia and New Zealand supporting older children, adolescents, young adults and their families through some of life’s most difficult moments, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, identity confusion, self-harm and relationship challenges.

His style blends practical skills and tools with deeper emotional and relational work. He adopts a warm, collaborative and direct approach that balances the need for human connection with a focus on meaningful change. He frequently involves family members and caregivers when it will support recovery, while honouring each person’s identity, autonomy and lived experience.

He integrates a broad range of evidence-based therapies, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy and Systemic Therapy. He also works with presentations such as abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, body image and eating-related concerns, co-morbidity and codependency, communication and family-of-origin problems, domestic violence impact, guilt and shame, and immigration-related stress.

His practice is informed by neuro-affirming and gender and sexuality-affirming principles, and he carries a trauma-informed, systemically aware orientation that seeks understanding rather than blame. He is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with international clients. He communicates in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
