About Yang
Yang Peng is a bilingual counsellor who offers sessions in English and Mandarin. She holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice from the University of Nottingham and is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to create a warm, compassionate space where people feel heard and accepted.
Sessions focus on helping clients make sense of difficult feelings, past experiences, and patterns of behaviour.
Background and approach
Yang uses a gentle, client-led style that encourages people to tell their story at their own pace. Yang has worked in mental health services since 2015. Her roles have included volunteering and counselling in hospice, helpline, and community settings.
Those posts exposed her to a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and long-term health issues. Her practice covers common life stresses alongside relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and challenges with sleep or eating. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, bipolar conditions, and changes that come with different life stages.
Yang pays attention to how guilt, shame, body image and communication problems affect daily living. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the approaches she uses when trauma or disturbing memories are part of the picture. Client-Centred Therapy is central to her work and shapes how she listens and responds.
Together these approaches help people process difficult memories and build clearer ways of coping.

Online support
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process disturbing memories and reduce the intensity of painful emotions tied to those memories. Online EMDR adapts by using guided attention and structured recall in conversation, and it can be used when trauma or distressing past events are part of the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which method or combination fits a person's needs, goals and comfort. Sessions can change over time as priorities shift or new issues emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging offer a flexible way to keep in touch between calls or to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions while balancing work, family and other commitments.
