The person beside you
Hello, I’m Yatong.
I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, and a person who knows something of finding a place between cultures, expectations and ways of being.
How we work together
How we work together
My approach is collaborative, direct and unhurried. I bring clinical structure and curiosity; you bring your experience. We make sense of things together.
A neurodivergent-friendly space
Room for your experience
I have ADHD myself. That lived experience informs the care I bring to this space, while leaving room for your experience to be different from mine. We can explore what helps you feel understood, comfortable and able to participate in your own way.
There is no need to sit still, make eye contact or find the perfect words. We can make room for movement, pauses, sensory needs and your own way of processing.
Working with your nervous system
Nervous system regulation is central to my practice. We notice signs of overwhelm or shutdown, explore grounding and adjust the pace together — so there is more room for choice.
Training & professional standing

Approaches, training & accountability
My work draws on EMDR, parts work / IFS-informed approaches, somatic pacing, ACT, CBT and DBT skills, and schema-informed work. We discuss what these involve and choose together according to your needs and goals. Culture, consent and your pace stay central.
A place to arrive
Here, or from your own space.
Meet in Wheelers Hill, Melbourne, or online across Australia. Therapy is available in English and Mandarin — with room for the parts of your experience that don’t translate neatly.
