Stella Yu

Stella Yu Registered Art Therapist
Stella Yu Β· Psychotherapist

Hi, I'm so glad you're here.

I trained in counselling and art therapy in Sydney, with a deep understanding of the tension between Western life and traditional Asian family dynamics. I truly believe everyone carries the capacity to heal and grow. I am here to walk alongside you with gentle care and curiosity, at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.

* Each session can mix art-making and talking β€” whatever feels right for you that day.

My Therapeutic Approach

Person-centred and strengths-based. In our work together:

  • We work together, as a team
  • We notice patterns that keep showing up
  • We build on your own strengths
  • We find practical ways to feel grounded

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about art therapy and online sessions.

Do I need to be good at art?+

Not at all. Art therapy is about expressing feelings, not skill. Every mark you make is valid.

What materials do I need for online sessions?+

Just simple things you have at home β€” paper, pencils, markers, or scrap paper for collage.

How does art therapy work over Zoom?+

You work in your own space at home. We talk, make art, then reflect on it together.

Are our conversations and artwork confidential?+

Yes. I follow ANZACATA and ACA codes of conduct, so everything stays private.
