Yang Peng, BACP

Yang Peng is a bilingual psychotherapist who offers therapy in both English and Mandarin and holds BACP accreditation, which identifies her as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She completed a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice at the University of Nottingham and previously trained in Psychology in China.

Yang has built clinical experience across a range of service settings, including volunteer and counsellor roles at Human Flourishing Project, Nottinghamshire Hospice, Pro-counselling, Counselling Xtra, and Vita Health Group. Across these positions she has supported people facing a wide spectrum of concerns, from complex childhood abuse and trauma to depression, anxiety and stress, bereavement, relationship difficulties, obsessive-compulsive disorder, gambling addiction and chronic fatigue syndrome. She has also worked with issues around self-esteem, body image, eating and sleeping problems, anger and bipolar-related challenges, intimacy and family dynamics, and life-stage transitions.

With six years of clinical experience, Yang adopts a compassionate, person-centred stance that prioritises empathy and acceptance. She aims to create a space where clients feel understood and valued, supporting them to explore distressing emotions, to make sense of past experiences, and to address patterns of thought and behaviour they find unhelpful. Her practice blends a respectful, listening-led approach with targeted techniques to help clients move toward their personal goals.
