Hong Ting Leung , BACP

Hong Ting Leung is a counsellor with 21 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, struggling with low self-esteem, or coping with grief. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she adapts conversations to what each person needs right now.

She supports people working through relationship concerns and life changes such as divorce and separation. Hong Ting also addresses issues linked to attachment and abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness. She works with people facing body image worries, chronic illness or pain, and the strains of immigration or isolation.

In session she listens carefully and builds a plan with the person in front of her. The plan is focused on practical steps and clearer thinking, not one-size-fits-all solutions. She aims to help people notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and find more confidence in daily life.

Hong Ting uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each concern. She offers sessions in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and sees people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits. Fees vary with location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Hong Ting uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One approach emphasises identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour, then testing small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people who struggle with rumination, worry, or loss of motivation.

Another common approach concentrates on relationships and attachment. It helps people understand how early family experiences shape current connections, and teaches ways to improve communication and reduce repeated cycles of hurt. This can be useful for those facing divorce, separation, or ongoing relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hong Ting will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made, keeping the work flexible and collaborative.

Online formats offer practical benefits for people with busy lives or who live far from a therapist. Video calls let conversations feel more like face-to-face sessions. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, written processing, or people who find words flow better in writing. These options make it simpler to build therapy into day-to-day life.
