Yun-Ting Chou

Yun-Ting Chou (BACP) offers support to people facing a range of concerns. She helps with relationship and family difficulties, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports issues around self-esteem, body image, intimacy, addiction, immigration, and questions about life purpose.

Yun-Ting takes a warm, relational style in sessions. Her work is collaborative and non-judgemental. She listens first, then helps people make sense of experiences and notice patterns in relationships and feelings.

Her practice blends counselling and psychotherapy approaches. Sessions draw on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical ways to change them. Emotionally-Focused elements help with intense feelings and closeness issues.

Yun-Ting brings perspectives from an East Asian background and experience supporting people with immigration and racial identity concerns. She volunteers with Cruse Leeds, offering bereavement support, and has previous work experience teaching Mandarin for eight years.

People who meet her can expect honest, respectful dialogue and practical tools alongside deeper exploration. She describes therapy as a collaborative process aimed at understanding yourself better and finding clearer ways forward.

Outside work she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading and connecting with others. She also takes part in peer support groups with UK-based therapists to continue developing her practice.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can explore these patterns and how they affect intimacy and trust in present relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on personal growth; in an online conversation this means the counsellor mirrors and reflects the client's experience to help them find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours; it can be used online to practise small behavioural experiments and try different ways of thinking between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then shape sessions in a collaborative way. This gives space to blend approaches or shift focus as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when life changes, helping people keep momentum in their therapeutic process.
