About Wing
Wing Yau welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger or big life changes. She is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 11 years of experience. She offers help for issues such as depression, grief, addictions, sleep and eating problems, and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem.
Wing uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens and helps people make sense of difficult emotions. Together they map out small steps to reduce distress and build better day-to-day routines.
Background and approach
Meetings aim to leave people with clear strategies they can try between sessions. Her approach draws on several recognised therapies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports working with painful feelings while focusing on values and action. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current relationships and emotional responses. Wing is comfortable working in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and she accepts international clients.
She uses a collaborative style that asks about each person’s goals and preferences. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted if needed. Clients are guided through practical skills for communication, anger management, coping with stress, and relapse prevention for addictive behaviours.
Wing emphasises small, consistent changes that add up over time. Her sessions suit people who want a calm, direct approach and clear next steps.

How Wing works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress, adjusting the plan as needed in a collaborative way.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to work in a preferred language such as English, Mandarin or Cantonese and to keep continuity with a counsellor when living abroad.
