About Yong
Yong Waters is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and an NCPS credential. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. Yong aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings and experiences.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions centre on the person's concerns rather than pushing a rigid plan. She listens for patterns such as attachment worries, shame, or isolation and helps people notice how those patterns affect daily life.
How Yong works
Yong often supports people dealing with past trauma, grief and issues around intimacy or body image. She also works with concerns such as addictions, compassion fatigue and relationship problems, including non-monogamous relationships and gender identity matters. Her work includes exploring self-worth, communication difficulties and life purpose.
In sessions Yong uses a client-centred style that prioritises the individual's pace and priorities. Conversations tend to be practical and plainspoken, with attention to small changes that make life feel more manageable. People who prefer a respectful, listening-first approach often find this style helpful.
Getting started involves a short discussion of what matters now and simple steps to move forward. Yong aims to be steady and present as people try out different ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

Online support options
Client-centred help through online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and follows the person's lead to build understanding. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship issues because it centres the individual's priorities.In practice, Yong aims to work collaboratively to find the right approach. She will talk with people about their goals and preferences and try different ways of working until something fits. That process is shared and paced to what the person needs rather than imposed from the start.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if someone is having a short check-in or prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help therapy fit around work, family life and different routines.
