Yun-Ting Chou , BACP

Yun-Ting Chou, who goes by Tammy, is a UK-based therapist with a relational and humanistic orientation who blends counselling and psychotherapeutic methods to support people working through life transitions and relational difficulties. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space for clients to explore their experiences, make sense of patterns, and develop practical strategies for growth. Tammy brings cultural sensitivity informed by her East Asian background and holds the BACP credential - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and commitment to ethical practice.

Her work is collaborative and respectful, balancing deep exploration with practical direction. She aims to create honest, open dialogue and to tailor tools and insights to each person’s needs. Areas she commonly supports include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, trauma and abuse, bereavement and grief, racial identity and immigration issues, as well as relationship and family difficulties. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, body image, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Tammy has volunteered with Cruse Leeds since 2022 supporting people through grief, and previously spent eight years teaching Mandarin in schools and private settings. She stays connected to professional development through UK-based peer support groups and draws on her own experience as a therapy client to inform her empathic approach. When she is not working she enjoys hiking, cooking, reading, and connecting with others. She would be honoured to walk alongside people who feel ready to explore change and healing.

Attachment-informed and client-centered approaches for online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional needs and behavioral patterns. It helps people understand attachment styles, manage fears of abandonment or closeness, and improve relationship security.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and unconditional positive regard. It offers a supportive environment where clients are guided to discover their own insights, build self-compassion, and make choices that align with their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, offering practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and address unhelpful patterns through structured exercises and skills practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals provides flexible access to support via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access help from different locations, and continue work between sessions in ways that suit each person’s life.
