Yong Waters
Calm, person-focused counselling for life change
About Yong
Yong Waters is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Yong aims to make the first step into therapy easier and more manageable for anyone uncertain about reaching out.
Yong creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what is troubling them. Sessions focus on listening closely and helping clients notice patterns that affect their mood, relationships and choices.
Background and approach
She works with people on issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and compassion fatigue, as well as concerns about self-esteem and body image. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries. Additional areas she supports include gender dysphoria, LGBT matters, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Mood disorders, social anxiety, isolation and post-traumatic stress are also within her practice focus. Yong uses a client-centred approach that places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. That means conversations are shaped around each person's goals and pace, rather than a fixed agenda.
Practical next steps and small changes are explored together, so progress feels achievable. People can expect straightforward language and a gentle pace in sessions. Yong works with English-speaking clients in the UK and also accepts people from other countries for online work.
She is registered with NCPS.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and building understanding from the client's point of view. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most to them. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a preset plan. The counsellor and client work together to find the best way forward, trying different approaches when needed. Deciding which style fits is part of the work and will be reviewed as goals and needs change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, regular prompts and people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for different schedules, energy levels and practical needs.
