About Chun
Chun Kong Sze Du is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 13 years of experience. He trained as a counsellor and also served as a Christian Methodist pastor in Hong Kong. He offers sessions in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and accepts international clients.
He works with relationship and family difficulties, grief and bereavement, intimacy-related issues, parenting and fatherhood concerns. He also helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression and life changes such as separation or immigration. Guilt and shame are listed among the issues he addresses.
His style draws on client-centred principles with attention to systems and relationships. That means listening closely and following what matters to the person in the room. He uses practical therapies such as cognitive behavioural work, dialectical behaviour ideas, emotionally-focused techniques and mindfulness when they suit the client.
Sessions aim to allow emotional release, and to bring calm and clearer thinking. Chun Kong Sze Du describes helping people process personal and interpersonal conflicts, bereavement and the transitions that follow loss. He combines attention to feelings with discussion of patterns between people.
People who prefer Cantonese from a Hong Kong background often find speaking in their native language comforting during big life changes. Chun works to connect mind, body and spiritual wellbeing where that is relevant to the person.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own perspective. The therapist follows what people say, reflects it back and helps them find their own way of understanding difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical tools to test and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) concentrates on the emotional bonds between people and can help when intimacy or attachment are causing repeated pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chun Kong Sze Du will discuss options and try different methods with the client, using what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That means deciding together whether more reflective listening, practical skill-building or emotion-focused work is most useful at any stage.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around everyday life, for example reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera when someone prefers audio only. Registered or accredited professionals can also use online work to maintain continuity during major life changes.
