About Chun
Chun Kong Sze Du is a BACP counsellor and a Christian Methodist pastor originally from Hong Kong. He has 13 years of experience helping people with relationship strains, grief, parenting pressures, stress and anxiety. He also supports people facing changes like separation, immigration or a midlife rethink.
He works in a client-centred way inspired by Rogerian principles. Sessions focus on careful listening, sorting out current problems, and noticing patterns of thought and behaviour that get in the way. Chun uses conversational methods alongside practical tools to help people try different responses to old habits.
People often bring issues around attachment, abandonment, infidelity or family-of-origin difficulties. He also helps with feelings of emptiness, shame or guilt, and with rebuilding purpose after major life changes. Sessions aim to make things clearer and to reduce repeating conflicts.
Chun draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches when relevant. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing ideas may be used to support coping and decision-making. He adapts the style to what the person needs rather than following a strict script.
Sessions can be conducted in English, Mandarin or Cantonese, which can be especially helpful for people from Hong Kong who now live in the United Kingdom. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled to set goals and plan next steps.
How his methods translate to online sessions
Chun commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what is happening, which helps people clarify their feelings and priorities.He also integrates elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed. DBT offers concrete skills for tolerating distress and managing intense emotions, which can be useful after loss or during relationship conflict. Chun aims to agree with each person which approaches to use and adjusts methods based on their goals and preferences.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific methods of delivery. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins during a busy day, or allowing conversation in the language the client prefers. The initial matching questionnaire and first session help decide whether the online format and chosen approaches are a good fit.
