Ms Yuying Zhao

Registered Counselor

“Yuying is a bilingual (English/Mandarin) counsellor and hypnotist, family and couples therapist in Melbourne. She offers Mandarin therapy for both online and face-to-face clients. The purpose of therapy is to help personal growth and make clients more empowered to face and solve life's problems.”

About Me

I support individuals, couples, and families seeking personal growth and lasting solutions. My approach helps you feel more empowered to face life’s challenges. Whether you prefer to explore concerns through Counseling or harness the focused power of hypnosis, I offer a clear path forward. Sessions are available in English or Mandarin, ensuring you can express yourself fully and make meaningful progress towards your goals.

Approach

Choosing counseling or a focused hypnotic session comes down to what feels most useful to you that week — pace, safety, and clarity guide that choice. In Mount Waverley or online in English or Mandarin, sessions are structured with short, practical goals, gentle attention techniques, and clear experiments to try between meetings. I track what shifts and adjust strategies, bringing partners or family in when patterns show up relationally. This approach suits people who want steady, usable changes and clearer day‑to‑day choices.
