Chun Kong Sze Du, BACP

Chun Kong Sze Du is a trained counsellor and Christian Methodist Pastor originally from Hong Kong who now practices in the United Kingdom. He combines pastoral sensitivity with therapeutic training to support people facing personal and interpersonal challenges, especially those navigating grief, loss, and life transitions.

As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - he follows established professional standards while offering a warm, Rogerian style of care. He listens attentively to each person and helps process their unique circumstances with attention to body, mind, and spiritual wellbeing.

His work is oriented toward resolving personal and relational conflicts, managing bereavement, and supporting adjustment after significant change. He brings a systems perspective alongside client-centered methods, attending to family and relational patterns that shape experience. Many clients report feelings of catharsis, increased calm, and greater clarity after sessions.

For people from Hong Kong and other Cantonese-speaking communities, his ability to work in Cantonese can provide additional comfort and cultural understanding during the transition to life in the UK. He aims to create a compassionate space where practical insight and emotional processing come together to support each person’s wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Chun combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for each person’s own pace of growth; it helps people feel heard and supported as they explore relationships, identity, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness-based work teaches present-moment awareness and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. He works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adapts the work as those needs evolve. The aim is to create a tailored plan that combines insight, skill-building, and compassionate support.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to maintain continuity during transitions, and to access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor sessions to the individual’s circumstances.
