Christy Cheng, BACP

Christy Cheng is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, family concerns, and life transitions. She works with clients who are seeking practical coping strategies as well as deeper personal insight, tailoring sessions to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Christy practices from a person-centered viewpoint, creating a respectful, empathetic space where clients can explore their feelings and priorities. She emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and helping them clarify what they need to move forward, make decisions, and live in greater alignment with their values. Her approach adapts to the unique needs of each client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods alongside mindfulness-based techniques to increase awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience. Christy communicates in English and Cantonese and is open to working with international clients, offering flexibility in how clients connect with her. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Christy aims to support clients who are ready to notice their patterns and take steps toward change, providing guidance and collaboration as they work toward greater wellbeing and satisfaction in their lives.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Work Online

Christy integrates client-centered and mindfulness-based approaches into her online practice, offering clear explanations and practical steps that fit remote sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding the client’s perspective without judgment and supporting them to identify their own solutions - this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, decision-making, self-esteem work, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings; it can help reduce anxiety, build emotional regulation, and support recovery from depression and trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christy works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to clients’ goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then tailors a plan that may combine client-centered listening with mindfulness practices and practical coping strategies.

Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into busy or geographically distant lives. These options make it easier to attend regularly, access support from different locations, and use formats that feel most comfortable, while enabling licensed professionals like Christy to provide consistent, focused therapeutic work.
