About Christy
Christy Cheng is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress and anxiety.

Christy works in English and Cantonese and accepts international clients.
Christy uses a client-centred style that begins by listening to each person’s story. She aims to understand how someone sees their situation and then works with them to identify what feels most important to change.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored so conversations and goals match the individual rather than a fixed programme. Mindfulness techniques form a part of her work when they fit the client’s needs. These practices are offered as simple tools to help people notice thoughts and feelings, reduce reactivity and build calmer daily routines.
Christy holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. She has four years of professional experience supporting people with common mental health and relationship concerns. Her background focuses on helping clients gain insight and take practical steps forward.
Her style is respectful and warm, with an emphasis on helping people find the courage to try something different. To begin, she asks about immediate worries and what a better week would look like, then works with each person to plan achievable next steps.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s view. The counsellor follows the client’s priorities and helps them make choices that feel right. It is useful for people who need space to talk, feel heard and decide their next steps.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention exercises and breathing practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. These tools can reduce reactivity and support calmer routines for stress, anxiety and mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan so it fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions can be offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are close to face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, note-taking or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
