Chun Kong Sze Du, BACP

Chun Kong Sze Du is a counsellor and Christian Methodist pastor originally from Hong Kong. He brings 13 years of experience to his work and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and uses attentive listening to help people talk through personal and relationship struggles.

He offers support for relationship problems, grief and loss, parenting concerns and intimacy issues. He also helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Midlife crisis and life changes are included among the kinds of transitions he works with.

His approach is rooted in Rogerian or client-centred principles, where the person’s own pace and experience shape the work. He also draws on cognitive behaviour ideas and emotion-focused methods when they suit a person’s goals. Mindfulness and some skills from dialectical behaviour approaches are used to manage strong feelings and build steadier coping.

In sessions he focuses on clear, calm conversation and emotional processing. People can expect a gentle tone, space to express difficult feelings and practical steps to try between meetings. He pays attention to spiritual concerns when clients want that included.

Chun supports people who have migration or family-of-origin difficulties and those dealing with abandonment, infidelity or communication breakdowns. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to book according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and pace. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears and helps the person make sense of their feelings. It is useful for relationship worries, bereavement and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It involves practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and coping during life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to name and process strong emotions within relationships and attachment patterns. It helps people understand emotional responses and work on connection and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as sessions progress. This collaborative process means the plan can change if something else would help more.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow a quieter commute-free session and reduce travel time. Different methods translate well to remote sessions - talk-based listening, CBT worksheets and mindfulness exercises can all be used to keep progress moving forward.
