Sessions & fees
Person-centred care and trauma-focused work online
Yang uses person-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. This approach helps people feel understood and supports conversations about stress, relationships, self-worth and life direction. It is practical for people who want a compassionate space to explore feelings and behaviours.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people dealing with traumatic memories. EMDR involves guided techniques aimed at reducing the intensity of distressing recollections and can be helpful for trauma, PTSD symptoms and some strong upsetting memories.
Yang treats choosing an approach as a joint endeavour. She will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences and the nature of difficulties, and then suggest whether person-centred work, EMDR or a mix best fits the situation. The plan can change as therapy progresses to match what feels most helpful.
Online therapy with her is available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video sessions suit deeper conversations and non-verbal cues, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be quicker for check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
