Yong Waters, NCPS

Yong Waters is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and low mood. Yong aims to make it easier to say the hard things and to find helpful ways forward.

Yong creates a calm, open space where clients can talk without being judged. She listens closely and reflects what she hears to help people make sense of their feelings. Sessions aim to build understanding and small, practical steps that suit each person's day-to-day life.

Her work particularly addresses trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. She also supports people coping with grief, addictions and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, gender dysphoria, and challenges around polyamory and non-monogamous relationships.

Yong uses a client-centred approach that puts the person and their experience at the heart of the work. That means the pace and focus follow what the client brings, with the counsellor helping to clarify feelings and priorities. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental process that looks to practical change as well as greater self-understanding.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be supported. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How a client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience, offering empathic listening and gentle reflection. It helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship conflicts or struggles with identity to name what they are feeling and to discover their own solutions.

That approach is grounded in collaboration. The therapist and client decide together what to focus on and what pace feels right. This means goals are practical and shaped around daily life rather than imposed from the outside.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter way to talk during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose the right session rhythm and approach based on your needs and preferences.
