About Wing
Wing Yau is a counsellor with 11 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Wing focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and coping with life changes, and she aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable.
Wing uses simple, practical conversations to help clients name what feels hard. She listens first, then helps people spot patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
Together they try small changes and new ways of responding that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day life. Her practice draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work. That means clients might try skills for managing thoughts and feelings, notice how relationships shape reactions, and practise actions that reflect what matters to them.
Wing has supported people with a wide range of concerns including anger, addictions, grief, trauma, parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, workplace stress and challenges linked to identity and sexual orientation. She also works with people facing complex or overlapping issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD and attachment concerns.
Sessions can be offered in one of three languages, and Wing accepts international clients. She aims for a calm, uncomplicated approach so people can focus on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose small actions that match personal values rather than being led by fear or worry. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulty making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and aims to build more supported ways of connecting and reacting in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, values-based action, or exploring relationship patterns and then adapt methods as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and seeing non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or messaging suits people who prefer typing or want brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel without losing continuity of care.
