About Yang
Yang Peng is a bilingual counsellor who speaks English and Mandarin. She holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice from the University of Nottingham and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to create a warm, compassionate space where people feel understood and accepted.
Yang focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing grief, changes in life, issues with self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her practice includes concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar mood swings and intimacy-related worries. Before her current role as a psychological therapist, Yang worked across several mental health services in the UK and China. Roles have included volunteer counselling at a hospice and helpline work, placements in community counselling services and person-centred practice in educational settings.
These roles exposed her to trauma, bereavement, OCD, gambling problems and chronic fatigue presentations. In sessions she uses a person-centred approach to listen deeply and help people make sense of difficult feelings. She also draws on EMDR where clients and she agree it might be helpful for processing traumatic memories.
Her style is collaborative and gentle, focusing on what matters most to the individual. Yang welcomes people who want a supportive space to explore their emotions and behaviour. She aims to help clients recognise patterns and find practical ways to manage daily challenges and rebuild a sense of direction.

Approaches Yang lists

Online support
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to help people process distressing memories. It involves guided attention and structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and associated feelings, which can be useful for PTSD, trauma and some complex grief reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Yang will work with each person to decide whether person-centred work, EMDR or a blend suits their goals and needs. She discusses options, checks how each approach feels, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions and a way to work through thoughts without being on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on the work people want to do.
