About Yang
Yang Peng is a bilingual counsellor who speaks English and Mandarin. She holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice from the University of Nottingham and is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people feel heard and respected.
Yang focuses on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, mood changes such as depression or bipolar-related concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
How Yang works
Other areas she helps with include sleep and eating problems, anger, body image and social anxiety. Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the client at the heart of sessions and prioritises understanding and empathy. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients who need help processing traumatic memories.
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs. Yang has worked in mental health settings since 2015, including volunteer and helpline roles and counselling services connected to hospice care and other organisations. This experience has exposed her to a wide range of difficulties from bereavement and trauma to chronic health challenges and addiction-related issues.
People can expect a calm, supportive atmosphere where the focus is on making sense of difficult feelings and changing unhelpful patterns. She supports clients exploring life purpose, self-worth, forgiveness and coping with major life changes. Yang offers sessions in English and Mandarin for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens and reflects what matters to the client. It helps people who want to talk through feelings, build self-worth and make clearer decisions about relationships or life direction.Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories. It involves structured sessions where the counsellor guides the client through memory processing to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic events and related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Yang will work collaboratively to choose and adapt methods based on a person’s needs, goals and comfort level. Together they can try different ways of working and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face and are useful for detailed work such as EMDR. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick reflections, regular check-ins or when typing feels simpler than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy fit into busy schedules and different time zones.
