Yun-Ting Chou, BACP

Yun-Ting Chou, who often goes by Tammy, is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with BACP membership, indicating affiliation with a UK professional counselling association. She works in a relational and humanistic manner, combining counselling and psychotherapy techniques to help people make sense of their experiences and build greater self-understanding.

Yun-Ting creates a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where clients can explore feeling stuck, address relationship concerns, or navigate life changes. Her intention is to collaborate respectfully with each person, offering both deep exploration and practical tools tailored to individual needs. This approach supports work on anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, stress, addictions, intimacy and relationship issues, and related areas such as attachment, abandonment, body image, and family problems.

She brings a culturally informed perspective shaped by her East Asian background and professional experience. Since 2022 she has volunteered with Cruse Leeds supporting people experiencing grief, and prior to this she spent eight years teaching Mandarin in schools and private settings. Yun-Ting also engages in peer support with UK-based therapists to continue developing her practice.

Outside of work she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading, and connecting with others. Having been a therapy client herself, she appreciates how daunting the first step can feel and aims to walk alongside clients with empathy and practical support. She is available to work with both local and international clients.

Relational and practical therapy online

Yun-Ting Chou draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings of abandonment, trust, and intimacy. This approach helps clients understand connection styles and improve communication and closeness in relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a humanistic, person-focused method that prioritizes empathic listening and respect for the client’s experience. This approach supports self-exploration, confidence-building, and finding personal meaning when facing issues like self-esteem, life purpose, or major transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is discussed collaboratively. Yun-Ting works with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to attend regular appointments around work, family, or time zone differences, and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Registered professionals like Yun-Ting aim to make therapy a practical, supportive resource for people regardless of location.
