About Wing

Wing Yau is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, parenting concerns and relationship difficulties. Sessions are described in plain terms to help people cope with life changes and everyday pressures at home.

Wing focuses on family and relationship topics, helping people talk through communication problems, blended family strain, and the practical parts of parenting. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addiction and identity issues. Her approach aims to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build more effective ways of relating to others.

In session she draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Conversations often look at thoughts, difficult emotions and the behaviours that follow. She uses practical exercises and reflection to help people practise different responses outside session.

Wing offers therapy in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

She places particular emphasis on improving communication, reducing reactive anger, and finding manageable ways to care for oneself while parenting or supporting others. The work is straightforward and paced to each person's needs.

How sessions work

How Wing uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It often involves simple exercises to clarify values and try small behavioural steps that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical techniques to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wing will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use based on current concerns, goals and what feels manageable. That means sessions can include discussion, practice tasks or skills training depending on what the client and therapist agree will help.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work breaks and childcare by removing travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require a camera, depending on the agreed format. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these flexible arrangements to help people maintain continuity of care without major disruption to daily routines.
