Chloe Yu, BACP

Chloe Yu offers a straightforward, warm approach for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, career uncertainty or major life changes. She introduces short, practical conversations that focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Chloe keeps sessions collaborative and goal-focused so people can take steps they recognise as useful.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred principles to shape her sessions. That means Chloe helps people notice what they value, untangle unhelpful attachment patterns and meet themselves with curiosity rather than judgement. Sessions aim to increase clarity and everyday coping skills alongside deeper understanding.

Chloe has three years of professional counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and carries a blend of humanistic and existential influences in her work. Her manner is described as warm and engaging, with a focus on building trust and respect.

In practical terms Chloe uses a conversational style that invites reflection and small experiments between sessions. She helps people clarify goals and tests what helps in daily life. Work with her tends to balance emotional support with clear steps you can try between meetings.

Chloe offers therapy in English and Mandarin. Her background includes helping people with chronic illness, body image, attachment issues, bereavement, career questions and relationship conflict rooted in family of origin problems.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and major life transitions by encouraging small steps that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in current connections and helps people change repeating dynamics that cause distress. This approach is often used when communication, trust or fear of abandonment are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chloe will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. She treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will adapt sessions based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Text and live chat work well for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection or when messaging feels easier than a live conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical coping and personal insight.
