About Chun

Chun Kong Sze Du is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He also works with life changes such as separation, immigration adjustments and midlife questions. Sessions may be offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

He adopts a client-centred stance combined with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. He uses emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based methods where helpful. In sessions he listens closely, helps people process feelings and looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact.

His background includes pastoral work as a Christian Methodist pastor from Hong Kong, which informs his attention to spiritual and cultural aspects when clients bring them up. He notes that Cantonese can be calming for people from Hong Kong who are adjusting to life in the UK.

Chun helps people talk through personal and interpersonal conflicts. He works with bereavement and coping with transitions such as divorce or immigration. He also responds to issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and fatherhood concerns.

In practical terms he aims for sessions that create moments of release, calm and clarity. He combines Rogerian-style listening with system-level observations to help people see patterns in family and relationship dynamics. Clients and therapists then decide together which strategies to try next.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Client-centred therapy puts the person's concerns at the centre. The therapist listens without directing and reflects what comes up, which helps people clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behaviour therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different methods with the client and agree on what to try based on goals, preferences and what feels useful. The process is collaborative and may combine listening with specific exercises or skills practice.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also let people join from different locations if relocation or international schedules are a factor. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the flow of a session to suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth or a brief work break rather than a full appointment.
