Shu-Han Liu, AASW

Shu-Han Liu is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques and professional practice with lived experience as a peer supporter for people affected by domestic violence, immigration challenges and those caring for someone with mental health needs.

Her style is gentle, collaborative and client-led, built around active listening, two-way interaction and constructive conversation that treats each person as a whole. Shu-Han offers psychosocial support, behaviour strategies and practical guidance aimed at improving wellbeing and helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and life transitions. She works with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and aims to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected and empowered to lead their own path forward.

Shu-Han holds the credential AASW, which indicates membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers. She understands that reaching out for support takes courage and is committed to working collaboratively to find approaches that suit each client’s needs and goals.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online therapy

Shu-Han often works from a trauma-informed approach that recognises how past harm and distress can shape current thoughts, feelings and behaviour; this approach focuses on safety, pacing and supporting people to rebuild coping and resilience. She also uses collaborative, client-led psychosocial support and behavioural strategies that help translate practical skills into everyday routines, useful for managing anxiety, depression, self-esteem and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Shu-Han will work together with each client to identify goals, explain options and adapt techniques based on individual needs, preferences and cultural context so therapy feels relevant and workable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility to fit appointments around work, family and other commitments. These formats make it easier for appropriately qualified or registered professionals to offer regular contact and timely support, helping clients access care from wherever they are located in Australia.
