About Mei
Mei Yan Jim helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by family tension, parenting stress, anxiety or life changes. She introduces simple ways to talk about difficult feelings and to find clearer steps forward. Mei speaks Mandarin and Cantonese and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She trained in counselling and applied psychology at City University of Hong Kong and holds a BACP accreditation. Mei has three years of practice helping people with anxiety, stress, relationship struggles and ADHD-related concerns.
Background and approach
Her experience also covers issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and family of origin problems. In sessions she keeps the focus on the person in front of her. She tailors the plan to what each client needs, using listening, gentle questioning and practical exercises.
Some sessions look at emotions in the moment, while others examine life stories and patterns to find new options. Mei draws on client-centred ways of working alongside emotionally-focused and mindfulness techniques. She may also use narrative and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the issue at hand.
The approach aims to make feelings easier to understand and to find everyday changes that help. Therapy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them. Mei describes counselling as a joint process and offers steady support while clients try new ways of coping and relating.

Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in the room and how they affect important relationships. It is useful for people wanting to understand emotional responses, improve communication and repair connection in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mei Yan will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That might mean starting with present-moment mindfulness practices, then looking at personal narratives or deeper patterns if helpful.
Online therapy with her can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules.
