Weiqiong "Lulu" Pang, AASW

Weiqiong "Lulu" Pang is an AASW social worker with three years of hospital-based clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, depression and major life changes. Lulu offers sessions in English and Mandarin and aims to make talking about hard things feel easier.

Her approach is warm and practical. She listens first and helps each person name what matters most to them. Together they set small, manageable steps so progress can feel real and steady. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and what might help tomorrow.

Lulu uses a mix of techniques tailored to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thinking patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and solution-focused methods to build short-term wins. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

She has experience supporting people through serious health challenges including cancer, chronic illness and hospice or end-of-life concerns. Lulu also helps carers who are juggling stress and responsibility, and people coping with immigration, loneliness and workplace pressures.

Sessions are offered with a calm, non-judgemental stance. Lulu aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings are heard and respected. If speaking in Mandarin would make things easier, she can work in Chinese as well as English.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and move toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve mood. This approach often helps with panic, low mood and social anxiety.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and goals. Discussions in early sessions help shape a plan that balances short-term relief and longer-term change.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity of care during health challenges or caregiving responsibilities, and they support working through practical skills and thinking patterns between meetings.
