About Wing
Counsellor Wing Yau is a BACP member with 11 years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression and life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and she accepts international clients.
Wing focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and improve communication. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns and try different responses. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centred work where useful.
In sessions she listens for what matters to each person and helps them develop concrete coping strategies. This can include steps to reduce anxiety, plans for handling difficult conversations, techniques for managing anger, or routines to support better sleep and eating. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions.
Wing has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and neurodiversity related matters, chronic illness, and carer stress.
Her way of working aims to make therapy understandable and manageable. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It suits problems like anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early patterns affect current bonds; it can help when people struggle with trust, intimacy or repeated conflict.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your concerns and preferences and agree on steps together. That means trying methods, checking how they feel in practice, and adjusting the plan as needed in collaboration with you.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. They also let you use video, phone or other arrangements where available, so practical needs such as quieter surroundings or lower data use can be taken into account when organising appointments.
