About Yong
Yong Waters is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She focuses on creating a calm setting where people can speak honestly about what’s troubling them. Yong aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and clear.
Her practice emphasises listening without judgement. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people explore feelings at their own pace and to build self-understanding. Many clients come for help with stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
Background and approach
Yong also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, body image and issues around intimacy. She works with matters linked to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related stress. Sessions can address relationship and communication problems too.
She pays attention to how past wounds like abandonment or attachment difficulties affect current mood and behaviour. Practical topics such as coping with life changes, managing compassion fatigue, and finding life purpose are part of her work. Yong offers a straightforward, person-focused approach.
She helps clients notice patterns, name feelings and try small changes between sessions. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier mood rather than quick fixes.

Approaches Yong lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
This approach trusts that people know their lives best, and the therapist offers empathy and reflection rather than directing every step. That makes it straightforward to adapt goals and methods as the work progresses, so the therapist and client can find what helps together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yong will discuss options with each person and decide together which way of working feels most useful. That collaborative process helps match the style to the client's needs, preferences and goals.
Online sessions bring practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing access between sessions, or need to fit therapy around a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going from different locations and schedules.
