About Lye
Lye Fong Lee is an Australian Counselling Association (ACA) Level 3 counsellor with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Lee offers individual counselling and has provided couples counselling and Employee Assistance Program support. She has experience with WorkSafe Victoria referrals and with online telehealth sessions. She speaks English, Mandarin, Malay and Cantonese which helps when cultural context matters in sessions.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are included to build moment-to-moment grounding and reduce physiological stress.
Solution-focused work is used to find practical next steps and clearer short-term goals. Strengths-based counselling highlights existing resources and skills so clients can use what already works for them. Sessions tend to focus on practical coping strategies and communication skills.
Clients can expect a direct, structured way of working that aims to improve day-to-day functioning. Lee helps people develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication and build resilience. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Lee integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness into her online work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood, and it often uses homework between sessions to practise new skills. Mindfulness involves short attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness, which can be helpful for anxiety and trauma symptoms.She also applies solution-focused strategies in telehealth sessions to set clear, short-term goals and identify concrete next steps. Choosing or adapting approaches is collaborative - the client and counsellor review what feels helpful and adjust methods over time based on progress and preferences.
Her biography notes experience with online telehealth counselling, but specific session formats are not fully listed here. Confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions for more in-depth work; the format can be arranged to suit practical needs rather than promising a specific outcome.
