About Hong
Hong Ting Leung welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety or relationship strain. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and aims to make the first step feel less daunting. Her approach is respectful and direct, designed to help people find practical ways forward.
With 21 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Hong Ting has supported people through grief and loss, struggles with self-esteem and motivation, and persistent anxiety.
How Hong works
She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, and feelings of emptiness. Her practice pays attention to the everyday effects of these problems on work, family roles and daily life. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs.
Hong Ting tailors conversations and the plan of work to match what matters most to the client. She focuses on building clarity about patterns that keep problems going and on practical steps to change them. She aims to offer a calm, sensitive space where difficult feelings can be named and reduced to manageable pieces.
That may include exploring communication problems, dealing with guilt and shame, or working through major life changes such as separation or immigration stress. Hong Ting holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She encourages steady progress and helps people set realistic goals they can act on between sessions.

Online support options
Online therapeutic approaches and flexible session options
Hong Ting uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people tackle specific problems and build new habits. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then practising clearer ways of responding; this can help with anxiety, low mood and persistent worry. Another frequent strand emphasises exploring attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts, which supports people dealing with relationship strain or family-origin issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hong Ting works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals, needs and preferences. She will explain different options, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on what is helpful for the client.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for richer interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, caregiving or travel.
