About Yang

Yang Peng is a bilingual counsellor who speaks English and Mandarin. She draws on six years working in mental health settings and aims to make talking about hard things easier. She focuses on helping people who are carrying stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief or depression.

Parents reading on a phone will find short sentences and a straightforward way of explaining what happens in sessions. Yang trained at the University of Nottingham and holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice.

Background and approach

She also has a background in psychology from studies in China and lists BACP as a professional credential. Prior roles include helpline work, hospice volunteering and counselling posts in community organisations. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person.

She uses a client-centred approach to create a respectful, non-judgemental space for talking. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is also part of her toolkit and may be used when trauma or distressing memories are present. Yang works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and bipolar-related difficulties.

She also supports people dealing with life changes, compassion fatigue, bereavement and end-of-life matters. Her style is gentle and practical. Conversations aim to help people make sense of feelings, reduce distress, and try different ways of coping.

Sessions can be arranged online in multiple formats to suit different needs.

How Yang applies client-centred work and EMDR online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathic reflection and supporting people to find their own answers. In practice this means the counsellor gives full attention, mirrors what is said, and helps the person explore choices and feelings. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a method used to reduce the intensity of traumatic or distressing memories by guiding attention while the memory is recalled; it can help with trauma, PTSD symptoms and stuck memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then suggest whether client-centred conversation, EMDR or a mix makes sense. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual exercises, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, while chat and text let someone message in moments that fit their day. These options help people access therapy from different places and at different times, making it easier to keep regular contact and continue progress.
