About Wing

Wing Yau is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain, and she lists blended family issues among her areas of focus.

She helps people talk through anger, coping with life changes, grief and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with sleep or eating difficulties, addiction, ADHD and career stress. Sessions may cover practical coping skills and communication strategies for everyday pressures.

Wing blends a few evidence-informed methods in her work. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) features in helping people clarify values and take small, values-based steps.

Her way of working is person-centred in tone. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what someone wants to change. She offers straightforward tools for emotional regulation, managing anger, and improving conversations with partners or co-parents.

Wing speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese. She works with people from different backgrounds and accepts international clients. Practical next steps are to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and decide what matters to them, then take small actions aligned with those values. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for people adjusting to new family roles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current connections; online conversations can help identify recurring interaction cycles and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours through practical exercises and between-session tasks.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to consider goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. They often combine elements from different approaches so sessions remain goal-focused and relevant to day-to-day life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, as it removes travel time and can make short check-ins or regular appointments more manageable. If coordination or quieter surroundings are needed, discuss those practicalities when you schedule the first session so the therapist can suggest a suitable way to meet.
