Christy Cheng, BACP

Christy Cheng helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or stuck after difficult life events. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma, depression and big life changes. Christy speaks English and Cantonese and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Christy uses a client-centred style that focuses on each person's lived experience. She listens closely and follows the client's lead to understand what matters most. That way conversations stay relevant and grounded in the person's day-to-day life.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily signals without judgement. Mindfulness exercises are simple and practical: short breathing or grounding practices to reduce overwhelm and restore calm between sessions.

With four years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Christy adapts sessions to fit individual needs. She works at a pace clients find manageable and co‑creates goals that feel useful and realistic.

Many people come wanting clearer coping skills, better self‑confidence, or relief from persistent worry. Christy supports people to recognise small steps, try new responses, and build routines that help them move forward. If someone is ready to explore change, she aims to make the process steady and respectful.

Therapy approaches and how online sessions help

Christy works using client-centred therapy, which means she follows the person’s lead and listens closely to their experience. This approach helps people feel heard and helps the therapist and client set goals that fit the person’s real life. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain, and feeling stuck after change.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These short exercises help reduce reactivity and make daily moments less overwhelming, which can support anxiety, stress and recovery after trauma.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Christy will talk with the client about goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan so sessions remain practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send messages between sessions or use written check-ins when that fits their routine. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
