About Wing

Wing Yau is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 11 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for worry, low mood and relationship strain. Her approach emphasises clear steps you can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.

Wing helps people address stress, anxiety, anger, depression and major life changes. She also works with issues such as addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Her work includes supporting people with ADHD, bipolar and a range of attachment or communication difficulties.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what practical steps will help you cope better day to day.

Wing draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer tools for managing thoughts and behaviours. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to help people understand how past relationships shape current patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used where emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed.

Sessions are conducted in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Wing works with people who face life transitions, relationship difficulties and emotional distress, and she welcomes international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how they suit online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values-based action, which can help with stress, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful behaviour patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to explore which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying a mix of approaches and adjusting as you go, with regular check-ins about progress and what feels most helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins if you need focused support between longer sessions. Confirm the specific session formats available with the therapist before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor tools and exercises for remote work to help you build skills and cope with everyday stressors.
