About Xin
Xin "Gloria" Guo is an AASW accredited social worker with six years' experience. She offers calm, focused support for people facing loss, trauma, anxiety and big life changes. Gloria speaks English and Mandarin and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
Gloria listens first and then helps people notice what matters most to them. She uses an existential perspective to look at meaning and choice. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values day to day.
Background and approach
Sessions are person-centred and strength-based. Gloria uses skills from cognitive behavioural and dialectical approaches when useful. She works with people dealing with grief, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, addiction and compassion fatigue among other concerns.
Gloria has experience with trauma, including childhood trauma and sexual assault, and supports people managing dissociation and attachment issues. She also helps with body image, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress and ageing-related concerns. Her style is practical and collaborative.
She may offer grounding exercises, values-based planning, or coping skills you can try between sessions. Gloria aims to create a steady space where people can make changes at their own pace.

Online support
Approaches that suit online therapy
Existential therapy helps people examine meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It can be useful for clients feeling stuck, facing big life questions, or needing to reconnect with what matters.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and taking action based on personal values. It offers simple practices to reduce avoidance and build a life that feels meaningful even when feelings are hard.
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist provides empathy and support while the person guides the pace and focus of the work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences and try different ways of working. Together they decide which methods fit the problem, the person's style and what they want to achieve.
Online sessions - via video, phone, live chat or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or reflection, and text can help people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for timing, accessibility and different communication needs.
