About Chun

Chun Tat Wong is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience in Australia. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, changes in life, intimacy-related issues and career concerns. Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Wong uses clear, practical techniques rather than jargon. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build routines that reduce reactive anger. Conversations aim to make feelings easier to name and to find actions that feel manageable.

He also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to teach emotion regulation and improve communication. Those methods are used to reduce escalation, manage frustration at work, and repair strained relationships. Exercises may include simple behavioural experiments and attention work to slow impulsive responses.

Wong has worked across community services and aged care settings, supporting people with co-occurring health and social needs. That experience informs his focus on practical supports as well as talk-based work. He pays attention to how family of origin, caregiving responsibilities and life-stage changes shape stress and anger.

Sessions are straightforward and task-focused. People can expect collaborative goal-setting and short exercises to practise between meetings. The approach is plain and pragmatic - the aim is steadier reactions and clearer choices when anger rises.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with recurring anger by shifting attention from urge-driven reactions to purposeful responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses short practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel irritability and resentment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising attachment-related emotions and improving how people express needs, which can ease conflict and rebuild trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean starting with behavioural experiments from CBT, adding ACT exercises for acceptance, or using EFT techniques when relationship concerns are central.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel on days with heavy workloads. Therapists and appropriately qualified professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between sessions.
