About Mei

Mei Yan Jim offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship and family strain. She focuses on day-to-day challenges like parenting stress, anxiety, life changes and coping with ADHD. Mei Yan writes in Mandarin and Cantonese and works with clients across the United Kingdom and beyond.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness approaches. Sessions begin by identifying what matters most to the client and then working on small, manageable steps.

Background and approach

Conversations are plain and direct, with attention to feelings, patterns and how they affect everyday life. Mei Yan has three years of counselling experience and holds BACP registration with training in counselling and applied psychology. She draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas when helpful, for example looking at family of origin themes or recurring relationship patterns.

The aim is to make problems easier to understand and to find useful ways to respond. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She listens closely and helps people name difficult emotions such as shame, grief or emptiness.

Practical tools and mindfulness practices are offered when they fit the client's needs. Sessions are adapted to the person’s pace and situation. Mei Yan tailors the plan to the issue, whether that is coping with divorce, resolving communication problems, working through attachment wounds, or managing stress at work or home.

Online support

How Mei Yan’s approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the role of emotions in relationships and personal distress. Online EFT sessions help people identify key feelings and the patterns that keep them stuck, which can ease relationship tension and hurt from attachment wounds.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building confidence and exploring personal values.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. Short exercises and breathing techniques are introduced and practised during sessions to manage stress and anxiety.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods and adjust the plan to match the client's needs and preferences. Decisions about methods are made together, and progress is reviewed as therapy continues.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and time zones for international clients.
