Qian Wang

Qian Wang is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker qualified to provide psychotherapy under Medicare Better Access, which means clients can claim a Medicare rebate for eligible sessions. He supports 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 difficulties.

With ten years of experience across Australia and New Zealand, Qian combines practical strategies with deeper emotional and relational work. His style is warm, collaborative, and direct - he balances the importance of human connection with a focus on meaningful change.

Therapy with Qian moves at each person’s pace and prioritises reducing distress while building a more fulfilling future. He involves family members when it will support recovery and works to empower caregivers in their role. Qian honours identity, autonomy, and lived experience and brings an approach that is neuro-affirming, gender and sexuality-affirming, trauma-informed, and systemically aware.

He integrates a range of evidence-based methods including enhanced cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-E), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based family therapy (ABFT), family-based treatment (FBT) for anorexia nervosa, and systemic family approaches.

Qian works with adolescents and young adults facing depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress, eating disorders, intense emotions, self-harm and suicidality, identity questions and existential emptiness, and stresses related to relationships, school, and life transitions. He also supports parents and families dealing with conflict, disconnection, communication breakdowns, oppositional behaviour, aggression, truancy or risk concerns, parenting while living with trauma, and the impact of domestic violence or complex family dynamics.

There are situations where Qian may not be the best fit, including when the primary need is specialised functional skill development for severe autism spectrum disorder (Level 3), couples or romantic relationship counselling, or severe substance use that requires specialist treatment. When he is not the right person to help, he will assist in guiding people to someone who is.

For those seeking a therapist who can sit with difficult feelings, help make sense of their story, and support stronger relationships and a life worth living, Qian is available to help.
