Xuexiang Liang, BACP

Xuexiang Liang helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, grief, parenting concerns, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Xuexiang explains things plainly and listens with warmth so people feel heard from the first session.

She uses a client-centred approach that focuses on each person’s experience and priorities. That means conversations orient around what matters to the individual rather than fitting them to a model. She pairs this with solution-focused techniques that help identify small, practical steps people can try between sessions.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented when that is helpful. The therapist will work with each person to clarify what they want to change and to map simple actions toward those goals. People often leave with a clearer sense of direction and small, doable strategies to try at home.

Xuexiang is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and provides therapy in English and Mandarin. Her way of working is described as warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on listening first.

She encourages anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed to try a short, structured conversation about what matters right now. If someone prefers online options, sessions can be arranged by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives.

How client-centred and solution-focused work online

Client-centred therapy concentrates on the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens with warmth and helps people name what matters most. This approach suits issues where someone wants a space to be heard and to explore feelings without labels.

Solution-focused therapy is practical and goal-directed. It helps identify small, achievable steps and builds on what is already working. This style can be useful for tackling stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and coping with life changes by focusing on clear next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to match methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences. That conversation happens early on and can be adjusted as work progresses so clients feel the plan fits them.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and messaging or chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical steps and personal goals.
