About Tsz

Tsz Yan Elizabeth Yau supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and low self-esteem. She helps with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, eating and anger problems, and coping with life changes.

Elizabeth uses practical conversation and creative activities in sessions. She adapts her approach to each person and combines talking therapy with art-based exercises when helpful.

Background and approach

She also offers hypnotherapy as an option for people interested in that method. Her background includes experience supporting people with trauma, abuse, substance use and mental health concerns in a range of community settings. That experience shapes a straightforward, calm style in the room.

She aims to build trusting dialogue and steady, achievable steps forward. Therapy sessions move at a pace that suits each person. Elizabeth draws on client-centred work to stay focused on the individual’s priorities.

She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address patterns of thinking and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. She tailors practical tools and plans to everyday life. Creative materials and guided imagery are offered to help people access different ways of thinking and feeling.

Her goal is to help people make changes that feel possible and useful in daily routines.

Ways of working Tsz names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches you can use online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps each person clarify what matters most and what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and steps you can try between sessions to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication patterns cause problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with you and tailor methods to your needs, goals and preferences. That way you can try approaches that fit your situation and adjust as you go.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and work with creative materials. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use video. These formats help people access therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
