Yun-Ting Chou is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, anxiety and depression. She also helps with self-esteem, stress, parenting concerns, addictions and intimacy-related issues. Yun-Ting welcomes clients who are exploring identity, immigration difficulties, career crossroads or a sense of emptiness.

She favours a warm, relational style. Sessions are collaborative and respectful. Yun-Ting listens carefully and works with each person to make sense of their experience and find practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Her background blends humanistic and psychotherapeutic ideas. She uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ways of working to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Yun-Ting trained and works with the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of counselling experience and has volunteered with Cruse Leeds supporting people through bereavement since 2022. Her earlier career included eight years teaching Mandarin to children and adults.

She offers therapy in English and Mandarin and brings attention to cultural background and immigration issues when these are relevant. Outside work she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading and peer support with fellow UK-based therapists. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

The aim is to build safety, understand patterns and support clearer choices in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships affect how people feel and connect. It helps with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and recurring relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions by offering empathic listening and acceptance so individuals can explore their values and make sense of life choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful patterns and manage mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where approaches may be combined and adjusted as understanding grows.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for work schedules, family commitments or long-distance clients.
