About Wing

Wing Yau helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and life changes. She uses therapy to address mood difficulties, addictions, grief, intimacy and self‑esteem concerns. Sessions may also cover sleeping and eating problems, parenting pressures, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Wing works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 11 years of professional experience.

Wing draws on a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns and actions, and acceptance and commitment ideas to focus on values and gradual behavioural change. Attachment-based and client-centred methods shape how she attends to relationships and a person’s emotional experience. Dialectical behaviour ideas are used for building coping skills when emotions feel overwhelming.

In a meeting with her, conversations are plain and task‑focused. She offers exercises, thought records and breathing or grounding practices when helpful. Discussions about family, adoption, ageing, chronic health, neurodiversity, codependency or communication problems are common themes in her work.

Wing aims to work collaboratively on goals such as clearer communication, better emotion regulation and more consistent daily routines. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, chronic pain or long‑term health issues. Her background includes 11 years of practice within the UK and a range of clinical approaches to match different needs.

To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying new behaviours to reduce distress, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and can help with relationship problems and intimacy issues.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and will use that conversation to decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment work or a blend best fits the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and may shift as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing a shorter check‑in during a lunch break, or using audio when video is difficult. It can also permit continued work when circumstances make in‑person visits harder. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which practical formats they currently offer and how to arrange appointments.
