About Wing

Wing Yau is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, parenting pressures, sleep and eating issues, and work or career concerns.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, useful changes people can try between meetings. She uses talking, reflection and structured exercises from evidence-informed methods to help people manage strong emotions and recurring patterns.

Wing combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and attachment-informed ideas to look at thoughts, feelings and how relationships shape behaviour. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and client-centred ways of working when helpful. This mix is used to address anger, communication problems and difficulties with closeness.

In work with relationship issues she pays attention to how trust, boundaries and patterns of interaction get formed. For individual clients she helps identify triggers, develop coping strategies and practise different responses to frustration or resentment. The goal is better emotional regulation and clearer communication rather than a quick fix.

Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. International clients can be accommodated. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used online and what they do

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger that keeps pulling someone into the same unhelpful reactions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anger, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties by teaching practical coping skills.

Attachment-informed work explores how early relationship patterns affect current trust, closeness and conflict. This can be helpful for people who find anger shows up around intimacy or communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Please confirm session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
