Background:
Weiyu is a PACFA registered counsellor and psychotherapist, as well as an AHPRA registered Registered Nurse with extensive experience in acute adult psychiatry. Their work is informed by a strong clinical foundation alongside specialised training in creative, trauma-informed and mindfulness based therapeutic approaches.
Specialty:
Weiyu specialises in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and stress; grief and loss; parenting challenges; cultural identity exploration; and the impacts of marginalisation. They also work with burnout and life transitions; creativity and spirituality; and integrating the impact of non-ordinary states. Weiyu has particular experience supporting neurodivergent people, as well as clients from diverse cultural, gender and embodied experiences.
Approach:
Trained in creative arts therapy, trauma recovery and mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy, Weiyu takes an experiential and body centred approach to counselling. Their work supports you to recover from harmful power dynamics, reconnect with a sense of safety, and cultivate belonging within yourself and the wider world. Sessions are collaborative and responsive to your specific needs, grounded in both creativity and embodied awareness.
Perspective:
Weiyu is dedicated to understanding each person as a whole. They see counselling as a creative partnership, shaped by thoughtful reflection, genuine connection, and an appreciation for how our lives are deeply connected to the world around us. Weiyu aims to provide a space where you can explore your experiences with care, curiosity, and authenticity.

Important Notice
There are some people that our counsellors can’t work with – not because we don’t want to, but because we want you to have the best possible care.
If you currently experience domestic violence, are having a mental health crisis, are experiencing severe substance dependency issues, or other acute crises, we can’t provide you with the level of support you deserve. However, we will use your initial appointment to connect you with places that specialise in these issues, so you can get the best possible care.
All Rough Patch counsellors manage their own scheduling and administration. Click on a profile below to read more and send an email enquiry. In the rare event you don’t hear from a counsellor within 24 hours, please call us on 02 7226 0809
All of our counsellors generously reduce their usual fees to provide affordable mental healthcare to our community. They do not receive government rebates or funding to provide their services.
