Mei Yan Jim, BACP

Mei Yan Jim is a psychological counselor based in the United Kingdom who combines clinical training with a person-centered, compassionate style. She holds an MSc in Counseling and an MSc in Applied Psychology from City University of Hong Kong, completed in 2018, and is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

With three years of professional experience, she has worked with people facing a range of concerns, including anxiety, phobias, work- and school-related stress, abandonment and attachment difficulties, parent-child and marital relationship challenges, and broader life transitions. Her practice also addresses issues such as PTSD, depression, eating and food-related difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, family of origin problems, and struggles with guilt or shame.

Her therapeutic approach is rooted in humanistic values and draws on a variety of evidence-informed methods. She integrates client-centered work, psychodynamic perspectives, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems, narrative and solution-focused techniques, and mindfulness practices to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Treatment plans are individualized, with an emphasis on understanding emotional patterns, improving communication, and building coping strategies.

Mei Yan views counseling as a process of self-exploration that can bring up difficult feelings as part of healing. She offers a non-judgmental, accepting presence and listens patiently while supporting clients through challenging moments. Sessions are available through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she is currently accepting new clients, including international clients who prefer therapy in Mandarin or Cantonese.
