About Wing
Wing Yau is a counsellor with 11 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and life changes. Wing speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and accepts international clients.
Wing takes a straightforward, collaborative approach in sessions. She asks about what matters most and helps people set small, practical goals. Conversations focus on clearer communication, managing strong feelings, and building everyday coping skills that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Her background includes practice with a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, blended family tensions, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and body image or self-esteem difficulties. Wing draws on several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs.
She uses Systemic ideas to look at patterns in relationships, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Client-Centred and Attachment-Based ideas guide how she listens and responds. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Wing works with each person to choose formats and goals that fit their routine, and she supports people through practical steps so changes are manageable over time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Systemic ideas look at the patterns between people and how those patterns affect feelings and behaviours. Online sessions can use this approach to identify repeated interaction cycles and to practise different ways of responding in real time.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that reflect their values. It suits people who want to reduce struggle with unpleasant emotions and build a values-driven life.
Attachment-Based Therapy centres on how early relationships shape current connection and trust. It can be useful for people who want to understand patterns in close relationships and work towards more supported ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals, preferences and daily life. This is a collaborative process where approach and pace are agreed together.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions and to apply new skills in everyday settings.
