Wing Yau, BACP

Wing Yau welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or big life changes. She offers calm, practical support and helps clients find ways to cope day to day. Sessions are aimed at making small, steady improvements that make life easier to manage.

She uses familiar, goal-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Conversations cover emotions, thinking patterns, behaviour and the everyday steps that build healthier routines. The aim is to help clients feel more able to manage difficult feelings and make clearer choices.

Wing draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed work. She adapts these methods to each person’s situation rather than applying a single fixed method. This keeps sessions practical and tailored to what matters now.

Her background includes over 11 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has included helping people work through grief, addiction issues, career stress, parenting strain and concerns about self-esteem.

Sessions can be conducted in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Wing supports people who are exploring identity and intimacy questions, dealing with trauma or abuse, or managing conditions such as bipolar disorder or ADHD alongside everyday life demands. She encourages a steady, collaborative pace and clear next steps between sessions.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It often suits people facing chronic stress, anxiety or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change moods and behaviour, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and aims to improve communication and connection in relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to everyday needs rather than fitting people to a single model.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a counsellor who speaks English, Mandarin or Cantonese even if they are based elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals can often tailor session length and frequency to suit work, family and time-zone constraints.
