About Wing
BACP. 11 years' experience. Wing Yau works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, anger, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting challenges and career concerns, and she speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Wing offers straightforward counselling that focuses on practical skills and clearer communication. Sessions look at patterns in feelings and behaviour, and explore small changes that make daily life easier. She uses methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred approaches, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy.
In longer work she helps with relationship and family concerns by looking at how people relate to one another and how they express needs. She also addresses issues such as intimacy, body image, eating and sleeping problems, and the emotional effects of adoption, abandonment or caring responsibilities. The aim is to improve interactions and reduce repeated conflicts.
Wing's practice includes attention to neurodiversity and personality-related difficulties, and she works with people facing chronic illness, ageing concerns and co-morbid conditions. She uses clear exercises, communication practice and coping strategies so clients can test changes between sessions.
Sessions can be matched internationally and are delivered in the languages listed above. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled to agree goals and practical arrangements.
Therapeutic approaches used for remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and deciding what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions where clients want clearer values and purposeful action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviours that maintain problems; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape responses and patterns, and it can help with intimacy, communication and repeated relationship conflicts.Finding the right method is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss these approaches in the first sessions and agree what feels most useful based on the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats work better for shorter check-ins, while others suit longer, more in-depth work, so confirm which formats are offered when you arrange your first appointment.
