About Yatong Wen
Clinically, Yatong integrates cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-informed principles, and client-centred methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. He has completed formal training across a range of therapeutic approaches, as well as training in suicide prevention, crisis response, and mental health recovery, and has supported people through acute distress, identity confusion, and long-standing emotional pain.
In addition to conventional therapy, Yatong is a certified psychedelic-assisted therapist and provides integration support for those processing challenging experiences from non-ordinary states of consciousness. Influenced by trauma-focused thinkers such as Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, he works from the view that healing begins when unmet needs are addressed. He offers a compassionate space where personal stories are heard, experiences are honoured, and pathways for growth are explored.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where people want to live more intentionally despite ongoing challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating - it explores attachment needs and helps rebuild trust and connection in relationships affected by loss, abandonment, or inconsistent caregiving. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own experience, offering a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where clients can explore identity, self-esteem, and emotional concerns at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yatong works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting the plan as needed so therapy feels relevant and practical.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and for communicating in the ways that feel most comfortable. These formats make it easier to access support from home, balance therapy with work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of care even when circumstances change, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to progress toward meaningful goals.
