About Kelvin
Kelvin Mui is an AASW social worker with over 10 years working in public and private mental health settings in Australia. He sees people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected, and those managing trauma, eating or body image concerns, relationship difficulties, or big life changes.
Kelvin describes his approach as trauma and attachment informed. He pays attention to your story and how you learned to cope, rather than only focusing on symptoms. Sessions move at a pace that feels steady and manageable.
In practical terms he listens for patterns from early relationships that still affect how someone feels now. He will gently look at attachment and how beliefs about oneself and others shape behaviour. That can help when guilt or shame keeps repeating in daily life.
Kelvin draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills, narrative work and client-centred ways of talking. He aims to help people notice their thoughts and feelings, practise different responses, and try small changes between sessions.
People who come most often have worries about parenting, family cycles, abandonment, codependency or struggles with commitment. Kelvin also works with caregiver stress, loneliness and questions of life purpose. He invites people to speak plainly about what they carry and to take gradual steps toward clearer choices.
How Kelvin uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting led by them, and then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when guilt or shame makes someone avoid important parts of life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape trust, closeness and self-worth; it is useful for people whose shame links back to family or caregiving history.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelvin will discuss different methods and together decide which fits your goals and preferences. That means testing ways of working and adjusting as you learn what helps most.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy weeks, and they can make it simpler to keep appointments across different locations. Online work also lets the therapist practise skills with you between sessions and plan short check-ins or longer therapy blocks depending on what suits your schedule and needs.
