About Hong
Hong Ting Leung is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self‑esteem and depression. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and works with people across borders.

With 21 years of practice in the United Kingdom, Hong Ting draws on long experience to tailor conversations and plans to each person.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most to the individual and helps them set small, realistic steps forward. Sessions are straightforward and practical, using clear language rather than jargon. Her wider focus includes issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and family of origin matters.
She also supports people dealing with isolation, migration stress, fatherhood questions, guilt and a search for life purpose. Hong Ting aims to work with clients at their own pace. She offers different session formats so people can choose what fits their life.
The intent is to build coping skills, improve understanding and help people feel steadier day to day. People who start with Hong Ting can expect practical conversation, careful listening and collaborative goal setting. She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and focuses on making the process as clear and manageable as possible.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Hong Ting uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding and step‑by‑step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another approach centres on understanding relationships and attachment patterns, helping people spot recurring dynamics and try new ways of communicating and setting boundaries. These approaches are taught in clear, concrete steps that a person can use between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Hong Ting will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the situation. She adjusts the plan as work progresses so the therapy remains relevant and achievable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when they prefer that connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text are useful for regular check‑ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy going alongside work, family and other life demands.
