About Wing

Wing Yau is a counsellor with BACP registration and 11 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She meets people where they are and helps them tackle stress, anxiety, anger and sleeping difficulties. Wing also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction and the pressures of parenting and work.

She takes a straightforward, empathetic approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and practical steps to try between meetings. Simple tools and short exercises are used to build coping skills and emotional awareness.

Wing blends several recognised approaches to match each person’s needs. This includes acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. She draws on these methods without promising a single fixed path, and adapts them to the person in front of her.

Her background includes long-term practice helping people through major life changes, trauma and family difficulties. Wing pays attention to patterns that affect sleep and rest, and she can work with clients to reduce nighttime worries and improve routines where helpful.

Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and she is able to work with clients internationally. To begin, readers are asked to use the site Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire so they can be scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

How Wing uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can focus on actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and getting back into healthy routines. Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and helps people build more secure ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy centres on the person’s own experience, using empathic listening to help people clarify what they want and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Wing will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day realities, and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family or sleep schedules and reducing travel time. Different formats suit different needs, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to have short check-ins, schedule weekday or evening sessions, or join from another town or country while keeping continuity of care with the same therapist.
