Chun Kong Sze Du, BACP

Chun Kong Sze Du is a counsellor and Christian Methodist pastor who trained in Hong Kong and now practises in the United Kingdom. He brings 13 years of experience and works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Chun aims to listen closely and help people make sense of what they are facing.

He focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues and parenting stresses. He also supports people coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and issues around divorce and separation.

Sessions tend to be calm and straightforward. Chun uses a Rogerian, client-centred stance that emphasises attentive listening and the person’s own goals. He also draws on approaches like cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour work, emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness as they suit the person.

People often come away with a clearer sense of direction and reduced emotional pressure. Chun aims to help clients process strong feelings, build practical coping skills and improve close relationships. He pays attention to physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of wellbeing.

Chun is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with individuals from different cultural backgrounds and notes that Cantonese-speaking sessions can be comforting for people from Hong Kong adjusting to life in the UK.

How Chun blends practical methods with online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's own pace. It helps when someone needs a kind, non-judgemental space to talk through personal or relationship problems and to gain clarity about next steps.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It introduces simple strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and to build different behaviours for managing anxiety, low mood or relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chun will talk with each person about their needs and goals and agree on an approach together. That means the plan can change over time as goals shift or new priorities emerge.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, by removing travel and saving time between commitments. It is also useful when someone prefers to use a language that best suits them, such as Mandarin or Cantonese, across different locations. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find that remote sessions help keep therapeutic progress consistent during life changes.
