About Wing
Wing Yau welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She writes in plain language and focuses on helping clients find practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. Sessions aim to make small, steady changes that improve day-to-day life.
She has 11 years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is a professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Wing speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and works with people across a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma, addiction, parenting pressures and work-related strain.
How Wing works
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and create workable experiments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take steps that match what matters to them.
Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening shape how she explores relationship patterns and emotional needs. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and emotion-focused work are used when people need tools for managing intense feelings and improving communication. Wing describes therapy as collaborative.
She listens first, then introduces strategies that clients can try between sessions. Over time the focus is on building resilience, clearer boundaries, and better everyday routines that support sleep, eating, parenting and work. Practical arrangements vary by location and preference.
Online formats include video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small concrete steps that align with those values, even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments to change feelings and behaviour; it can help with worry, sleep problems and mood swings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and communication, offering ways to understand and change recurring relationship habits.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try techniques that match your needs, then adjust the work as you feedback what helps. This collaborative way makes it easier to find methods that fit your life and learning style.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and let registered or accredited professionals provide ongoing support from different locations.
