About Chun

Chun Kong Sze Du is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He trained as a counsellor and also serves as a Christian Methodist Pastor, and he works with people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, stress and questions about life purpose.

He offers attentive listening and a Rogerian style that centres the person's own experience. Sessions focus on talking through personal and interpersonal conflicts, bereavement, loss and transitions. Chun uses straightforward discussion and reflective listening to help people notice how thoughts, feelings and behaviour connect.

He draws on systems thinking to look at family patterns and interactions that affect wellbeing. That perspective is used when people bring concerns about family of origin, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, or parent-child relationships.

Chun also integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to work on stress, anxiety and mood. Mindfulness practices and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used when the goal is to understand emotions and strengthen intimate connections.

Sessions are available in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, which Chun notes can be especially helpful for people from Hong Kong adjusting to life in the UK. He describes catharsis, calmness and clearer thinking as common outcomes people experience after sessions.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are used to agree goals and practical next steps. Chun asks people to consider how therapy might fit with their daily life and responsibilities.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can clarify their own thinking and feelings. It is useful when someone wants help sorting through choices, relationship concerns or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides skills in emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These techniques are often helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or who struggle with intense interpersonal conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as work progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from another location when that makes attendance simpler. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical options and help fit sessions into everyday life.
