About Yun-Ting

Yun-Ting Chou is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting pressures, anxiety and depression. She also helps with grief, trauma, stress, self-esteem and issues around intimacy and addiction. Yun-Ting writes in a direct, compassionate way and aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions are focused on listening first and then working together to make sense of patterns and feelings.

Background and approach

She balances deeper exploration with practical tools you can use between meetings. Yun-Ting draws on a range of therapy approaches that centre on relationships and personal meaning. She brings a humanistic, relational outlook influenced by her East Asian background.

This perspective helps when clients want to consider culture, belonging and identity alongside emotional concerns. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Before counselling she spent eight years teaching Mandarin in schools and personal settings, and she has volunteered supporting people through grief with Cruse Leeds since 2022.

Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin, and she accepts international clients. Outside work she enjoys hiking, cooking and reading, and she takes part in peer support groups with other UK-based therapists to keep developing her counselling practice.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and develop more supported ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then tailor work accordingly. This makes sessions feel more relevant and helps people try methods that suit them.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps when visual cues matter, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins work well over chat or messaging. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations, and continue work between meetings.
