Yan Yang is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Fitzroy, VIC. You can find the practice at Level 1, 411 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065. Sessions are available in English and Chinese (Mandarin), which can make it easier to feel understood from the start.
Yan works with adults and young people who are dealing with day to day mental health worries, and also with bigger issues that build up over time. In many cases, this includes stress, feeling low or anxious, trouble sleeping, and situations where thoughts and behaviours start to get in the way of life. At times, people come in after a tough change, burnout, conflict at home, or work pressures that just don’t let up.
The focus is on practical support. Therapy sessions can help you work out what’s driving what you’re feeling, and what you can do about it. Yan uses approaches like counselling for mental health concerns, stress management techniques, and behavioural therapy. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is also used, especially when the pattern is becoming stuck and you want clearer ways to respond.
What that looks like in real life is not just talking, though talking is a big part of it. You’ll also look at skills you can use between sessions. That might be learning how to calm your body when stress ramps up, or how to challenge unhelpful thoughts that keep repeating. Sometimes people just need a steady place to untangle things, and sometimes they want structured steps. Yan keeps it grounded and suited to how you’re coping.
Over time, therapy can help you build better habits and feel more in control. Many clients notice that they understand their triggers better, and that they can handle setbacks without spiralling. It’s also common to work on communication, boundaries, and coping strategies that fit your routine.
Yan has training and ongoing professional development as a clinical psychologist. If you’re looking for help in English or Mandarin, and you want a calm, straightforward therapy style, Yan Yang’s practice in Fitzroy is set up for that.
