Yang Peng, BACP

Yang Peng is a bilingual English and Mandarin BACP-accredited psychotherapist who currently works as a Psychological Therapist. She holds a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice from the University of Nottingham and previously studied psychology in China. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Since 2015 she has gained practical experience across a range of mental health settings. Her roles have included volunteer counsellor positions with the Human Flourishing Project and Nottinghamshire Hospice, counsellor work at Pro-counselling, a person-centred counselling role at Counselling Xtra, and helpline counselling for Vita Health Group. These positions have provided sustained exposure to diverse client needs and referral paths.

Her clinical work has involved supporting people with complex childhood abuse, depression, gambling addiction, anxiety and stress, bereavement, anger management, relationship difficulties, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma and PTSD, chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, and matters of personal development. She combines a client-centred therapeutic stance with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate, aiming to tailor support to each person’s experience.

Yang Peng seeks to create a therapeutic environment shaped by compassion and empathy in which clients feel understood, valued, and accepted. She works with clients to explore difficult feelings, to make sense of past experiences, and to address unwanted behaviour patterns, offering guidance and support as clients consider change.
