Yun-Ting Chou, BACP

Yun-Ting Chou, who also goes by Tammy, is a therapist who focuses on relational and humanistic care for people navigating difficult life moments. She recognizes that individuals can feel stuck, uneasy in relationships, or uncertain about their own experiences, and she centers her work on listening carefully and supporting clients to better understand themselves.

Her therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental, with an emphasis on collaboration and respect. She blends counselling and psychotherapy methods to help people make sense of their experiences, offering a combination of deep exploration and practical strategies to support ongoing growth.

Drawing on an East Asian background, she brings cultural sensitivity and a broadened perspective to her practice. Her clinical approach includes attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), existential and psychodynamic perspectives, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused methods.

She holds membership with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her engagement with professional standards in the field. Her areas of focus include relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, addictions, LGBT and intimacy-related issues, parenting and anger, career and life transitions, depression, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, commitment and communication difficulties, control and emptiness, guilt and shame, immigration-related concerns, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, and midlife challenges.

Yun-Ting has volunteered with Cruse Leeds supporting people experiencing grief since 2022, and previously spent eight years teaching Mandarin in schools and private settings. Outside of her professional activity she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading, and connecting with others, and she participates in peer support groups with UK-based therapists as part of her ongoing professional development. She also brings personal experience of being a therapy client to her understanding of the process.
