About Mei
Mei Yan Jim is a counsellor who welcomes people coping with anxiety, stress, parenting concerns and relationship difficulties. She works with those facing family problems, parenting strain, life changes and issues linked to ADHD. Sessions are offered in Mandarin and Cantonese as well as English for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She follows a person-centred style that puts the client’s experience first. That means listening carefully and shaping sessions around what matters to the person.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of emotion-focused and mindfulness practices to help people notice feelings and learn ways to manage them day to day. Mei Yan completed postgraduate study in counselling and applied psychology and has three years of professional experience.
She draws on psychodynamic and narrative ideas when it helps to understand patterns from the past or the stories people tell about themselves. Practical, short-term approaches are used when clients want quick tools for coping with stress and difficult situations. In sessions she adopts a calm, non-judgemental tone and aims to create a space where people can speak openly.
Conversations may cover attachment and abandonment wounds, family of origin issues, communication problems, infidelity, or guilt and shame. She also supports those struggling with body image, eating concerns and caregiver stress. Therapy can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.
Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a simple questionnaire is completed and appointments arranged to suit client needs.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and adapts sessions around what the client brings. This is useful for people who need a steady, empathetic space to talk about relationships, parenting or stress.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and work with strong emotions in close relationships. It aims to identify patterns of interaction and create new ways of responding, which can help with attachment issues, infidelity or repeated conflicts.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve coping. These exercises can be used between sessions to manage stress and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest a way forward. Clients and the counsellor decide collaboratively whether to focus on emotions, past patterns, mindful skills or short-term solutions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text works well for brief check-ins, ongoing support or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across different locations and schedules.
