About Huyen
Huyen Tran is an AASW counsellor with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood, sleep problems, or issues with attention and mood. Huyen approaches each person with calm, respect and practical curiosity to help them take the first steps toward feeling better.
She aims to keep sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small changes might help.
Background and approach
Huyen uses a mix of narrative ideas and evidence-based methods to help people rewrite unhelpful stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. In practice she borrows tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviours, and find values that matter.
She also draws on client-centred listening to make space for people to set the pace and direction of therapy. Huyen has worked with concerns that include trauma and abuse, panic and post-traumatic stress, anger and impulsivity, and long-term mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She also supports people struggling with self-esteem, communication problems and social anxiety.
Sessions are offered in English and Vietnamese. Huyen works online with people in Australia and aims to tailor conversations and practical strategies to each person's needs. She encourages taking small steps and plans therapy together with the person in front of her.

How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Huyen uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and to consider different, more helpful interpretations. This can be useful for issues like low self-worth, relationship patterns and social anxiety.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and to practise small value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try behavioural experiments that can reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Huyen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which ideas and techniques to try first. Therapy is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be quicker and uses less data, chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to attend.
