About Christy
Christy Cheng helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, family conflict, trauma and major life changes. She works in a client-centred way and uses mindfulness techniques to support calmer thinking and clearer choices. Christy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the UK.
Christy listens for each person's view and priorities, then shapes conversations around what matters to them. Sessions focus on understanding practical problems, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes that can reduce distress. Mindfulness is used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed.
Her approach aims to help people make decisions that fit their values and daily life. That can mean working on confidence, sorting relationship difficulties, or finding ways to cope after traumatic events. Conversations are paced according to what the person needs at that time.
Christy works in English and Cantonese and accepts international clients. She asks people to consider what they want from counselling and to bring that to the first meeting so they can agree goals together.
Sessions are run with a focus on clarity and practicality. People often start by identifying one or two manageable concerns, then build on small steps that support longer term changes. Christy draws on her four years of experience to keep sessions straightforward and focused on what the person wants to achieve.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens carefully to the person's perspective and builds conversations around their priorities and values. This approach helps when people need support to make clear decisions or work through difficult emotions.
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting to them. Simple mindfulness exercises can help reduce reactivity and improve concentration, which is often useful for stress, anxiety and low mood.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Christy will work with each person to agree what feels most helpful, based on their goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan fits real life.
