About Wing
Wing Yau is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with BACP registration and eleven years of experience. She offers a calm, straightforward way of working that helps people sort through stress, anxiety, grief and the strain of life changes. Wing speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and works with people who want clearer thinking and steadier routines.
Her approach mixes practical talking and skill-building. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to support stronger relationships and emotional understanding. Sessions tend to focus on what feels most pressing right now. That might mean learning ways to manage anger or anxiety, thinking through relationship or intimacy issues, or planning steps around career and parenting challenges.
She pays attention to losses and trauma too, and works at a pace that suits each person. Wing has supported people with addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD and long-term health concerns alongside everyday stresses. She also works with those navigating LGBT issues and family-related difficulties such as adoption, blended households and caregiving strain.
The emphasis is on small, practical changes that build resilience over time. People new to counselling are guided through the first steps and helped set clear, realistic goals. Wing encourages collaborative work, where progress is reviewed and approaches are adjusted as needed.

How Wing’s approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current connections and can be applied when relationship or intimacy issues are a main concern.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that suit the person. Adjustments are made as progress is seen or new needs emerge.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking since specific session types are not listed here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to involve different family members at times or to focus on practical skills between meetings, depending on what is arranged with the counsellor.
