About Yun-Ting

Yun-Ting Chou works with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and anxiety, as well as stress, addictions and intimacy-related issues. She uses a relational, humanistic approach and draws on several therapy methods to help people make sense of their experiences. Yun-Ting is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

Yun-Ting offers time to talk things through and to reflect on patterns in relationships and emotions. Sessions focus on honest conversation and on building understanding rather than quick fixes. She aims to balance deeper exploration with practical ideas you can try between meetings.

Her background includes supporting people with grief at Cruse Leeds since 2022 and eight years working as a Mandarin teacher in schools and private settings. That experience informs how she listens for cultural context and the impact of immigration and racial identity on someone’s life.

Yun-Ting draws on attachment-based ways of working to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on the person in front of her, and cognitive behavioural ideas when thinking about managing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, midlife questions and career worries. She is able to work in English and Mandarin and accepts international clients.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how people relate in the present and to test new ways of connecting with others. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person’s experience in the room, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting back what is most important; this approach helps with self-esteem, identity and clarity about feelings. Cognitive behavioural ideas are practical and look at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, which can help with anxiety, stress and changing unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree collaboratively which methods to use. That means the plan can shift over time as needs and priorities change.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around work or family commitments. They also allow for varied session rhythms, for example shorter check-ins or longer exploratory sessions, depending on what suits the person and the counsellor.
