Yang Peng, BACP

Yang Peng is a bilingual psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom who sees clients in both English and Mandarin. She is BACP accredited - a recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy that indicates alignment with nationally recognised professional and ethical standards - and holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice from the University of Nottingham. With six years of clinical experience, Yang draws on a background in psychology from China and a variety of roles in mental health services to inform a thoughtful, client-focused practice.

Her past work has included volunteer and paid counselling roles with organisations such as the Human Flourishing Project, Nottinghamshire Hospice, Pro-counselling, Counselling Xtra, and Vita Health Group. These positions provided experience supporting people through complex childhood abuse, depression, gambling addiction, anxiety and stress, bereavement, anger management, relationship difficulties, OCD, trauma and PTSD, chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, and personal development.

Yang follows a person-centred approach that emphasises empathy and respect, and integrates EMDR where appropriate to address traumatic memories. Her aim is to offer a compassionate environment in which individuals feel understood, valued and accepted, and to support exploration of distressing emotions, the meaning of past experiences, and patterns of unwanted behaviour.
