About Christy
Counsellor Christy Cheng is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and parenting strains. Sessions are offered in English and Cantonese and international clients are accepted.
Christy uses a client-centred approach. She listens to how each person sees their situation and follows their pace. Conversations focus on helping people notice what they need and make decisions that feel right for them. She combines this with mindfulness techniques to help with stress and grounding when emotions feel overwhelming.
In session she aims to keep things practical. People can expect time to talk and to reflect, and simple practices to try between meetings. She will discuss what is most helpful and adjust the way she works to fit each person’s concerns. That could mean short exercises for calming, or longer conversations about relationships and life changes.
Christy has experience supporting people after difficult events and those coping with low motivation. She draws on four years working directly with these issues. Her method emphasises respect, careful listening and helping people find steps to move forward.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Christy uses client-centred work online to focus on the person’s own view. This means she will listen to how you describe things and follow your pace. The aim is to help you notice what matters to you and make practical decisions about change.She also uses mindfulness techniques in sessions. These are simple practices for grounding, breath work and noticing thoughts without getting swept up by them. Mindfulness can help with stress, anxiety and when emotions feel intense after trauma or losses.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. She will talk with you about your needs, goals and what feels comfortable. Together you will decide which methods to try and make small plans to test what helps most, adjusting as you go.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit into work and family life, and it can reduce travel time and disruption. Others prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that do not need a video connection when that suits their day. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can offer these different practical options, and Christy will discuss what best fits your routine and needs.
