About Wing

Wing Yau is a counsellor with BACP registration and 11 years' experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with relationships and life changes. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of handling difficulties. Sessions often focus on small, doable steps that build confidence and reduce stress over time.

Wing pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. She helps people understand attachment patterns, codependency and how those affect interactions with others. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and improve communication, rather than label or pathologise someone.

She also supports people facing parenting strains, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, sleep and eating problems, and career-related stress. Work with emotions such as anger or grief is paced to suit the individual and their circumstances. Practical coping skills are taught alongside reflective discussion.

Wing encourages people to bring their goals and worries to sessions. She offers a calm, steady presence while helping clients test new strategies and notice what works. Early sessions typically set clear priorities and simple tasks to practice between meetings.

How Wing uses different therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions and focuses on simple steps towards what matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy or codependency to recognise patterns and try new ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Wing works collaboratively to decide what methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed to fit the client's situation.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can save travel time and allow sessions to be scheduled around work or family commitments. Different practical arrangements may suit different people, so confirm the current session options before booking. The focus is on helping clients use therapy in ways that are realistic and sustainable for everyday life.
