About Chun
Chun Kong Sze Du is a BACP-registered counsellor with 13 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He trained as a counsellor and also serves as a Christian Methodist pastor. He works with relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.
He uses attentive listening and a Rogerian client-centred approach to help people talk through what feels overwhelming. He draws on system-level thinking to look at patterns that affect relationships and family life. Sessions often focus on naming feelings, noticing interaction patterns and building small practical steps for day-to-day coping.
Du notes that working in Cantonese can be helpful for people from Hong Kong who have recently moved to the UK, and he also offers sessions in English and Mandarin. He integrates spiritual perspectives when clients want that to be part of the conversation, and he balances emotional processing with clear, practical tools.
People meet for conversations that aim to bring calm and clarity. Du may use Emotionally-Focused Therapy to map emotional patterns and attachment concerns, alongside cognitive and mindfulness strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are also part of his toolkit for handling strong emotions and improving coping.
He frames work as collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. To begin, clients follow the service’s matching steps to choose session options and arrange an initial meeting.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming feelings and attachment patterns that show up in close relationships. It helps people understand why certain interactions keep repeating and opens paths to different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises respectful, non-directive listening and follows what the client brings to each session. This approach supports people who need space to tell their story and to make sense of their feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build behaviour changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that takes into account the client’s goals, emotional needs and preferences. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make working with a Mandarin or Cantonese speaker more accessible for people who live further away.Areas of expertise
