​
Something has brought you here. Maybe you've been feeling this way for a long time and you're tired of it. Maybe something has just changed and you don't know what comes next. Counselling and Executive Coaching Services can help you get clarity and move forward. Either way, it doesn't have to stay like this.

HOW I WORK
Two ways to work together
Whether you're here for counselling or coaching — or not yet sure which — you're in the right place.
WHO I WORK WITH
You might recognise yourself here
Carrying something heavy
Past trauma, difficult relationships, anxiety, or a long-running loss of confidence. You've been managing it. You're tired of just managing it.
Stuck at a crossroads
A redundancy, a role that no longer fits, a decision you've been circling for months. You need to think clearly — but you can't do it alone.
Chinese in the UK
Navigating two cultures, family expectations, a workplace that doesn't always see you. I understand this from the inside — not from a textbook.
"Rather than telling me the answer, Yan led me through deep exploration so I could arrive at my own conclusion — and that made all the difference."
COACHING CLIENT
"I came to Yan after failing a promotion interview and questioning my direction. Through her guidance, I regained clarity and confidence — and secured two job offers aligned with the future I consciously chose."

In their own words
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"I walk out of her sessions feeling heard and accepted for who I am. She has helped me come to a place of self-awareness — through her diligence, patience, and sensitivity."
COUNSELLING CLIENT
"Yan's warmth and humanity provides a safe and accepting environment in which I feel able to open up. Our sessions always leave me feeling lighter — from having shared my experiences, from feeling heard and acknowledged, from being understood. She gives me confidence in the future."
COUNSELLING CLIENT
"Yan has been a guiding hand throughout my therapy. She has created a calm, reflective and empathetic space that has allowed me to move forward. I feel safe with her and trust that she listens whilst supporting me to go deeper. This is the first time in my adult life I have felt on the path to healing, and my work with Yan has been central to this."
COUNSELLING CLIENT
"Yan is a skilled coach who brings out the best in me — not by giving me answers, but by helping me discover them for myself."

ABOUT YAN
I know what it feels like to be stuck.
I've been through my own significant transition — a point where I had no space to think and couldn't see my options. I needed someone to sit with me in that uncertainty. I couldn't find that space, so I built it.
​
I was born and raised in China and have been living and building my career in the UK for the past 30 years. I understand the pressures my clients carry — professionally, personally, and culturally — because I've carried versions of them myself.
