Xin "Gloria" Guo, AASW

Xin "Gloria" Guo is an Australian social worker with six years of clinical experience supporting people through trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and other life transitions. She holds an MSW, a Master of Social Work, and carries AASW accreditation, indicating recognition as an accredited social worker in Australia. Her practice emphasizes a person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach that attends to each person's history, attachment patterns, and present-day coping needs.

Gloria works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related challenges, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around abandonment, attachment and dissociation-related issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and control issues, and other complex presentations.

Her clinical toolkit draws from multiple evidence-informed modalities to match interventions to the person's needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy approaches, mindfulness-based work, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and trauma-focused techniques. She has additional training in couple work and somatic methods reflected in her integrative practice.

Alongside psychotherapy training, Gloria has undertaken substantial somatic and movement-based education, including 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher training, certified chair yoga training, trauma-sensitive yoga foundational training, compassion-focused yoga therapy and meditation training, and ongoing training as a yoga therapy trainee. These trainings inform her attunement to bodily experiences in trauma and healing.
