Yu Chai

Yu Chai is an Accredited Psychologist and Psychotherapist with extensive clinical experience across private and group settings. Since 2015, she has completed over 600 hours of therapeutic practice, supporting individuals through a broad range of emotional and psychological challenges.

Before training as a therapist, Yu spent 20 years working within multinational organisations in Human Resources and Executive Coaching. This background provides her with a nuanced understanding of high-pressure professional environments and cross-cultural dynamics.

Her therapeutic style is psychodynamic in foundation, drawing from psychoanalytic theory, mindfulness-based practice, and expressive arts modalities. She creates a calm, reflective space where clients can reconnect with the body–mind–emotion relationship, fostering deeper insight and internal resourcefulness. Yu values compassion, respect, and collaborative partnership within the therapeutic relationship.

Having lived in China, the UK, and the United States, and travelled extensively, she brings strong cultural awareness and sensitivity to her clinical work.
