About me
Hello, I’m Qian.
I’m a counsellor with an integrative background, and I have a particular interest in the experiences of women, immigrants, and diaspora communities.
If you’re reading this, perhaps something has been weighing on your mind, and you're looking for someone to talk to. Reaching out can be difficult, so even getting to this point is already a meaningful first step.
I am a BACP registered counsellor and work in a non-directive way, which means:
- I trust that you have the power and ability to make the best decisions for yourself
- I see myself as a companion on your journey, sometimes offering a gentle nudge based on my experience
- I won’t give you specific advice but will support you in finding your own answers
- I abide by the BACP’s Ethical Framework, and our work is confidential
Choosing a counsellor or psychotherapist can feel overwhelming. That’s why I, like many others, offer a free initial 20-minute session - to give you a sense of how we might work together and to answer any questions you may have. It’s okay to trust your gut feeling. Research shows that a strong, trusting relationship between client and counsellor is one of the most important factors in therapy.
I hope you find someone who feels like the right fit for you - whether that’s me or someone else.
If you are interested in an initial chat, feel free to email me or message me here. You can also learn more about me and my practice at: https://qianyang.co.uk/.

你好呀，我是杨茜
我是一名整合取向的心理咨询师，对女性、移民以及海外侨民群体的经历也特别感兴趣。
既然你找到了这里，我想也许你正经历一些困扰，想找一个人好好聊聊。迈出向外寻求支持与帮助的第一步并不容易，能够找来这里已经是一个重要的开始了。
我是在英国培训且注册的心理咨询师，我的工作方式是非指导性的，也就是说：
- 我相信你有足够的能力和力量，能为自己做出最适合的决定；
- 我会陪伴你探索自己的旅程，有时候我也会用我的经验，给你一点小小的引导；
- 我不会直接给你具体的建议，而是帮助你找到属于自己的答案
- 我遵守 BACP 的伦理框架，对我们的谈话内容保密
选择合适的心理咨询师可能会让你感到不知所措无从下手。所以我和许多同行一样，提供一次免费的 20 分钟初次会谈，让你可以初步体验一下我们之间交流方式，并解答你的任何疑问。你可以也应该相信自己的直觉。研究表明，来访者与咨询师之间建立的信任关系，是心理咨询成功的重要因素之一。
我真心希望你能找到一个适合自己的咨询师 - 无论那个人是不是我。
如果你有兴趣安排一次初步交流，欢迎给我发邮件：email，或直接在平台上留言。你也可以访问我的网站，了解更多关于我和我的咨询工作：https://qianyang.co.uk/。
Training, qualifications & experience
My training is Integrative Counselling, and I’m a registered member of the BACP (No. 4107678). I have experience working with both adults and young people in counselling organisations and within a college setting.
Before becoming a counsellor, I studied Electronic Engineering & Computer Science, and worked across consulting, financial services, technology, and startups in both China and the UK.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
