About Wing
Wing Yau is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 11 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with individuals on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Wing speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and accepts international clients, offering sessions in a range of online formats.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how she helps people improve communication and emotional expression. Wing often supports people experiencing grief, trauma and addictions, and she helps with life changes including parenting, career shifts and ageing concerns. She also works with issues like low self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking and small changes that add up over time. She aims to make therapy collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People can expect help building coping strategies, managing strong emotions such as anger, and improving how they relate to others.
The tone in sessions is warm and direct, with attention to everyday pressures and real-life steps. Wing’s background includes extensive work across relationship and family matters, plus longer-term experience with complex emotional concerns. She encourages people to take manageable steps and to experiment with new ways of coping between sessions.
How Wing blends approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them, and to choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions where getting unstuck matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches clear techniques to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. It is practical for stress, sleep problems and many day-to-day difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and emotional bonds, helping people understand how past connections shape current reactions and communication.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Wing collaborates with each person to choose which approaches to use, adapting techniques to goals and preferences. Together they set small, achievable steps and review what helps most as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people work through emotions in shorter bursts or keep a written thread of progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping a consistent course of support.
