About Xin
Xin "Gloria" Guo is an AASW social worker with six years of counselling experience in Australia. She combines a calm, person-centred manner with practical tools to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, grief or trauma. Gloria speaks English and Mandarin and aims to make sessions straightforward and focused.
Gloria offers short-term problem-solving and longer-term work depending on what someone needs. She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside acceptance work to help with mood, worry and unhelpful habits.
Background and approach
She also brings trauma-aware ways of working for people processing painful events and losses. People can expect a warm, respectful space where the counsellor listens first and then offers steps to try at home. Gloria often teaches grounding and breathing practices and simple behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping.
She adapts the pace to each person’s needs and comfort level. Her background includes supporting people impacted by childhood trauma, sexual assault, attachment difficulties, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She has experience addressing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, addictions, body image and work-related burnout.
This range helps when problems overlap, such as depression with sleep difficulties or grief with anger. Gloria also integrates movement and somatic awareness into sessions when it suits the person’s goals. She collaborates on goals and revisits them regularly so people can see progress.
Her style stays grounded, practical and compassionate.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters. It uses values-based goals and simple exercises to reduce the hold of worry and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical changes in thinking and behaviour. It teaches clear strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful habits by testing small experiments and building new routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gloria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods together. She adapts techniques from ACT and CBT to suit someone’s pace, checking in regularly and changing course if something isn’t helpful. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed program.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use eye contact and visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in during a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get support between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
