About

About Wing

Wing Yau is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 11 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns and struggles around anger and grief.

Wing uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on clear goals and short-term skills you can practise between meetings. Conversations are guided by what matters to each person, with attention to feelings, values and everyday choices.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across a broad range of concerns, from addictions and compassion fatigue to eating and sleeping problems. Wing also supports people with attachment issues, neurodiversity and caring responsibilities. This variety shapes a flexible approach that adapts to practical needs.

In session she blends cognitive and emotional ways of working. That means looking at thoughts and behaviours, and also at patterns that develop in relationships. The aim is to improve understanding and to build new, usable habits for coping.

Wing offers therapy in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and accepts international clients. She uses conversations, simple exercises and homework to help people make steady progress. The first sessions focus on what matters most and on making a plan that fits everyday life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It suits concerns like anxiety, depression and life transitions where meaning and action matter.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then try methods that fit each person's needs. Choices are revisited as progress is made, so the plan can be adjusted collaboratively.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and use worksheets together, phone sessions work well when video is difficult, and live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people keep continuity of care and practise new skills in real time.
