Chloe Yu Counselling Psychologist in Training LondonChloe Yu:

Counselling Psychologist in Training (BACP) 


Hi, my name is Chloe Yu and I am a fully registered member of BACP and a third-year trainee counselling psychologist with New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling & Middlesex University, specialising in existential and humanistic counselling and therapy.

Part of the challenge of being human is that we will all encounter emotional difficulties from time to time; disappointments, heartaches and suffering are all part of the rhythm and reality of life.

Sometimes, life can feel deeply overwhelming, and other times, we seem to be trapped in never-ending repetitive patterns that we do not seem to be able to break away from on our own.

During these difficult moments, external intervention and/or support, in the form of counselling or therapy, delivered by a trained and non-judgemental professional, can often prove to be an invaluable avenue for us to explore our thoughts and feelings with clarity, examining our way of being in the world and directing our search for a new way forward.

Paradoxically, personal crisis, although deeply painful and troubling, often presents a unique opportunity for us to deepen self-understanding and enhance our personal development, precisely through making sense and finding meaning in the pain and suffering we endure.

As a counsellor and counselling psychologist in training, I recognise people come to counselling and therapy for a wide range of purposes, be it to nurse a broken heart, ease emotional pains or find a purpose in life, and so many more.

My way of working is underpinned by trust, respect and equality, and I strive to work collaboratively with my clients to tailor their goals in therapy and work collectively to achieve them.

Therapy is ultimately a conversation with purpose and my conversational style is warm, engaging and stimulating. I would describe my therapeutic style as compassion-focused and insight-oriented, and I strive to deliver both emotional healing and insight and clarity for my clients through open and meaningful dialogue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.

But how do you know what type of therapy is right for you? Taking the first steps in finding the right therapist can be the biggest hurdle for newcomers, so we have made it easy. Simply get in touch with us using the low-cost help and advice form and one of our fully qualified therapists can work with you to make sure you get the right advice you need in order to receive the correct low-cost therapy and counselling services you require.
