About Chun
Counsellor Chun Kong Sze Du is a BACP-registered practitioner. He has 13 years of experience and works in the United Kingdom. He helps people with relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, stress, anxiety, self-esteem and depression.
He trained as a counsellor and has worked as a Christian Methodist pastor in Hong Kong. He offers sessions in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and can support people who have recently arrived from Hong Kong. His background means he often understands immigration and cultural adjustments.
His way of working is client-centred, influenced by Rogerian principles that focus on listening and reflecting. He combines that with system-level thinking to look at how relationships and family patterns affect current difficulties. He aims to help clients talk through interpersonal conflicts and the effects of bereavement or separation.
He also uses practical skills from cognitive behavioural approaches and dialectical behaviour ideas to address stress, anxiety and difficult emotions. Mindfulness-based ideas are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Emotionally-focused ideas come into play when intimacy or communication are the main concerns.
Sessions are described as calm and focused on helping people find clarity. People can expect attentive listening and time to process what matters to them. Before booking it is sensible to confirm the current session options and practical arrangements.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
He uses client-centred work that focuses on careful listening and reflecting. This approach helps people feel understood and makes it easier to talk about relationship and family concerns.He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety and low mood by teaching practical skills to manage difficult thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the options with the client and agree a plan based on needs, goals and personal preference. That makes sessions a collaboration rather than a fixed programme.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit counselling around daily life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when days are busy. They can also make it easier to keep regular appointments across different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session types they offer when you arrange the first meeting.
