About Chun
Chun Kong Sze Du is a BACP-registered counsellor and Methodist pastor who brings 13 years of helping people through life transitions. He blends attentive listening with straightforward conversation to help people make sense of painful moments. Sessions aim for calm, clearer thinking and emotional release when it is needed.
His background includes pastoral work in Hong Kong and counselling experience in the United Kingdom. He speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese, which can be comforting for people from Cantonese-speaking communities adjusting to life in the UK.
Background and approach
He focuses on personal and interpersonal concerns such as grief, separation and parenting stress. Chun uses narrative ideas alongside client-centred ways of working. That means he helps people tell and rethink the stories they carry about themselves.
He also draws on cognitive and emotion-focused methods when thoughts, intense feelings or behaviour patterns need clearer tools. In practical terms sessions include careful listening, reflecting back what is heard, and offering questions that open new perspectives. People often leave a session with a sense of relief and a clearer next step.
Work can cover relationship difficulties, attachment worries, loneliness, guilt or struggles with life purpose. He aims to make sessions calm and direct. Conversations are paced to the person, whether addressing bereavement, communication problems, fatherhood issues or immigration-related adjustment.
The focus is on what feels most relevant right now.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Chun directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How narrative and focused approaches work online
Chun draws on Narrative Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to help people change the stories they tell about themselves and feel heard. Narrative Therapy looks at how life events are organised into personal stories and invites people to separate problems from identity. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive, non-judgemental listening so people can find their own answers and regain emotional balance.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when thinking patterns and behaviours are causing ongoing distress. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps that change mood and action. Together these approaches let him match conversational, exploratory work with more structured exercises when those are useful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chun will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways to proceed. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy develops.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat formats work well for shorter check-ins or when writing helps. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or relocation.
