About Wing
Wing Yau is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and major life changes. She practises in the United Kingdom and communicates in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Wing has over 11 years of experience and holds BACP registration, and she aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of relating and coping. Sessions focus on what is most useful for the person in front of her, with simple tools to manage difficult feelings and to build steadier routines.
Wing commonly supports people with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, grief, trauma and issues with self-esteem and addictions. She also works with people facing parenting strain, career pressures, chronic illness challenges and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD. Her work often centres on improving communication, rebuilding trust and easing strong emotional reactions.
In conversation she aims for a warm, steady tone and direct feedback when it helps. Therapy may include short skills practice, reflections on patterns, and steps to test new behaviours between sessions. Wing encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.
She welcomes people who want to understand their reactions better and who prefer a blend of practical strategies and reflective work. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress when someone wants clearer direction and practical choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it suits concerns like anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships, and it helps people improve connection, trust and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what seems most useful. Together they will try methods and adapt them if something does not fit, keeping the process collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to have a shorter check-in on a busy day or to keep regular weekly meetings when life is hectic. Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm the available online options when booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.
