Chloe Flemming , AASW

Chloe Flemming trained in psychology and social work at the University of Sydney, completing her studies in 2003, and has developed a broad clinical skill set over two decades of practice. She is an Accredited Clinical Social Worker (AASW), a credential that reflects ongoing commitment to current, evidence-based approaches required for registration and professional practice.

Her clinical career began in January 2004 at The Sutherland Hospital in Sydney, where she supported patients and families through hospital stays and the transition to home. Chloe later spent five years working in London in both hospital roles and care management positions, gaining experience across acute and community settings before returning to Australia.

Back in Australia she worked with the Department of Human Services, later Services Australia, where she supported many vulnerable people facing complex and high-stakes problems such as domestic violence, family breakdown and suicidality. These roles deepened her experience with trauma, addiction, grief and relationship challenges.

Chloe adopts a holistic perspective, viewing mental health in the context of physical, psychological, social, cultural and material influences. Her therapeutic manner is consistently warm and empathic, and she brings a genuine passion for helping people navigate life changes and build greater resilience.

ACT, CBT and mindfulness approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supports clients in identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, helping with anxiety, depression, sleep and coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which often aids with emotional regulation, rumination and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Chloe works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to select or combine methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from familiar environments, while still working with a trained therapist on meaningful goals.
