Child, Adolescent & Adult Clients
As part of her client-centered approach, she tailors her interventions according to her client’s needs, drawing upon a wide range of intervention modalities. In her work with children and adolescents, Ying is particularly passionate about utilising a systems approach to ensure that the young person is fully supported. This could encompass working from a multi-disciplinary perspective, which may include consulting with or referring clients to other health practitioners, educators, disability support officers, and student support officers.
Depending on the age and presenting issues of the young person, Ying also believes that family often plays an essential role in supporting and facilitating the recovery of the young individual. Her treatment approach when working with children (and sometimes, adolescents) thus often incorporates therapeutic work focused on attachment, family dynamics, parental reflective functioning and parent’s well-being.
In addition to providing therapy, Ying has also had experience in conducting and interpreting cognitive, developmental and learning assessments.
