About Shiao-Wei
Shiao-Wei Lin is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing blended family issues and other family-related stresses.
Her approach is rooted in client-centred practice. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour and helps clients make sense of how those patterns affect daily life.
Shiao-Wei draws on practical methods when they fit the person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques may be used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Solution-Focused Therapy can help identify small, achievable steps when someone wants quicker, goal-directed change.
She also names parts work from Internal Family Systems when it is helpful to understand conflicting inner voices or reactions. These methods are selected to match the client’s needs rather than following a single prescribed model.
Sessions aim to clarify current problems and set realistic next steps. People can expect an emphasis on clearer communication, improved coping strategies and planning for everyday changes. Shiao-Wei works with individuals and with couples and offers sessions in English and Mandarin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session. Online conversations focus on listening, reflecting and helping the client describe what matters most. It suits people wanting a more exploratory, respectful way to talk about difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural experiments between meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and stress when practical steps are wanted.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client and choose methods based on goals, preferences and what helps in practice. That choice is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow someone to keep seeing a therapist when they have moved or live abroad, while the practical arrangements are agreed in advance.
