Hong Ting Leung , BACP

Hong Ting Leung helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or unsure about relationships. She meets people where they are and aims to make first conversations straightforward and calm. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps that fit each person's life.

With 21 years of professional experience, Hong Ting draws on a broad range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She works with people dealing with grief and loss, low self-esteem, and worries about motivation and confidence. She also supports those coping with abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness or pain, and isolation.

She pays attention to communication problems, control issues, and the practical fallout of separation and divorce. Clients may bring up guilt and shame, family of origin difficulties, fatherhood matters, immigration stress, or questions about life purpose. Hong Ting adapts conversations and plans to each person’s particular situation.

Sessions are conducted in English, Mandarin, or Cantonese. People based outside the United Kingdom can also work with her. She aims to create an environment where concerns can be named, understood, and worked on at a manageable pace.

Hong Ting encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. She helps clients identify realistic goals, try new ways of coping, and notice the effects of those changes over time. Taking the first step is recognised as an important moment, and she treats that with care and encouragement.

How practical therapeutic approaches work online

Evidence-based techniques focus on clear, useable steps that people can try between sessions. One common approach involves skills-based work that teaches ways to reduce anxiety and manage stress through breathing, grounding, and activity planning; this helps when worry or overwhelm interferes with daily life. Another approach concentrates on grief and loss, offering space to tell a story, process difficult feelings, and find rituals or routines that support adjustment after bereavement or separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Choices are made jointly and can be adjusted as progress is seen or priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions and to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
