Yun-Ting Chou

Yun-Ting Chou (BACP) offers help for people who are struggling with anger, relationships and family difficulties. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and stress. She also helps with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, addictions and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and Yun-Ting welcomes international clients.

Yun-Ting creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what feels stuck. Her style is collaborative - she listens first, then works together to make sense of patterns. Conversations may move between exploring emotions and finding practical ways to cope day to day.

Her approach is relational and humanistic, drawing on a mix of counselling and psychotherapy ideas. She blends Attachment-Based, Client-Centred, Emotionally-Focused and cognitive-behavioural ways of working. This mix helps with understanding relationship patterns, shifting anxious or avoidant reactions, and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour cycles.

Prior to counselling work she taught Mandarin for eight years in schools and private settings. Since 2022 she has volunteered supporting people experiencing grief at Cruse Leeds. Her background gives her experience listening across cultures and life stages.

Tammy describes therapy as a joint process. She offers tailored tools alongside deeper exploration, and she joins peer support groups to keep developing her practice. If starting feels hard, she says that small first steps can still lead to meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based work focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions. Online sessions can be a place to try new ways of connecting and to notice how patterns show up in conversations. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and accepted; the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods feel most useful for a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean gentle exploration some weeks and practical skill-building in others.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when needed. It can also help people who live far from local services or who prefer seeing a counsellor who speaks their language. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflections and tools to work well over distance so the focus stays on progress rather than location.
