About Yang

Yang Peng is a bilingual English and Mandarin psychotherapist who practises as a Psychological Therapist and is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice from the University of Nottingham and has an academic background in psychology from China.

Her clinical experience spans roles in a range of mental health settings, including volunteering and counselling posts at the Human Flourishing Project, Nottinghamshire Hospice, Pro-counselling, Counselling Xtra, and Vita Health Group. These roles have given her experience working with people facing many challenges, such as complex childhood abuse, depression, gambling addiction, anxiety and stress, bereavement, anger management, relationship difficulties, OCD, trauma and PTSD, chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, and personal development.

Yang focuses on creating a therapeutic environment marked by compassion and empathy where clients feel understood, valued and accepted. She supports people in exploring distressing emotions, making sense of past experiences and identifying unhelpful behaviour patterns. Her aim is to work collaboratively with each person to clarify goals and develop practical steps toward healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Client-Centered and EMDR Approaches for Online Care

Yang Peng works with Client-Centered Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own capacity for insight and growth - this approach is often helpful for issues such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. EMDR is an evidence-informed method used to process distressing memories and trauma; it involves structured bilateral stimulation alongside focused recall to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and support adaptive resolution.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yang Peng collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences, and adapts methods accordingly so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. She works alongside clients to decide whether a more experiential, client-centred path, EMDR, or a blend of approaches will best support their progress.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging adds practical flexibility, making it easier to arrange sessions around work, family and travel. These options broaden access to licensed professionals and let clients continue consistent care even when life circumstances change.
