Fred Chin
Doctoral Trainee Psychologist
I’m Fred, a trainee counselling psychologist, and I offer a supportive space to help you better understand what you’re experiencing and navigate life’s challenges.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress and burnout, emotional distress, relationship difficulties, trauma-related concerns, and questions around identity and life transitions. Having worked across corporate, community, and educational settings, I understand how personal difficulties are often shaped by work pressures, relationships, and wider life demands.
My Approach
My approach is relational, client-centred, and trauma-informed, with a grounding in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I see therapy as a collaborative process, where we explore patterns that contribute to distress, build emotional awareness, and develop practical coping strategies that support meaningful change.
I also bring experience working with individuals with neurodevelopmental differences and adults facing high levels of distress, as well as providing crisis support in high-pressure settings, which informs a calm and reflective therapeutic presence.
Professional Background
I am currently training in Counselling Psychology through the Doctorate programme at York St John University (UK) and practise under professional clinical supervision, with a commitment to ongoing learning and compassionate care.
