About Xin
Xin "Gloria" Guo is an AASW accredited social worker with six years of clinical experience in Australia. She offers individual counselling and has worked with people facing grief, loss and different kinds of trauma. She also helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and anger concerns.
Gloria has supported clients impacted by childhood trauma and sexual assault. She also works with people who have attachment wounds and those dealing with chronic and acute trauma. Her background includes work with grief and bereavement, and with people managing compassion fatigue.
Her approach is person-centred and strength-based. Sessions focus on what a person needs right now, and practical steps they can try between meetings. She blends talking therapies with somatic and movement-informed practices when appropriate.
Gloria uses several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She has additional training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems and somatic methods, and teaches trauma-sensitive yoga and meditation.
People who prefer clear strategies alongside reflective work often find this style helpful. Gloria aims to help people build skills for managing emotions, improving relationships and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and Mandarin and combine psychological tools with body-aware practices.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building practical actions that match those values. It can help with anger by shifting attention toward meaningful steps rather than getting stuck in reactive patterns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing workplace frustration, rumination and behavioural responses that maintain anger.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those skills are often used when someone needs steady strategies to reduce impulsive reactions and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, then try approaches that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help therapy slot into everyday life without changing the therapeutic focus.
