Qing (Christina) Chen, AASW

Qing (Christina) Chen, AASW, is credentialed in Australia and brings 10 years of professional experience in mental health to her work. The AASW credential indicates membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers and reflects her recognised standing within the Australian social work community.

She supports people facing relationship challenges, sleep difficulties, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and career-related stress. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, anger management, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and she combines practical strategies with empathy to help clients move toward clearer goals and improved daily functioning.

Since November 2025, she has led a global group session specifically designed for individuals recovering from psychological trauma following car accidents. In that group she helps participants understand how PTSD can develop and influence brain functioning, practise reframing anxious thoughts, manage intense emotions, and rebuild a renewed sense of purpose and meaning. She also teaches therapeutic techniques and guided relaxation exercises aimed at restoring self-esteem, confidence, and practical life skills for everyday living.

Fluent in Mandarin and English, she offers culturally responsive counselling for people from Chinese backgrounds and others who prefer services in those languages. She works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and already holds strengths that can be drawn on during change. Taking the first step toward therapy requires courage, and she acknowledges and supports that beginning.
