About Wing
Wing Yau is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, respectful space to talk things through.
Wing takes a practical, down-to-earth approach. Early work focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and what patterns keep causing pain.
Background and approach
She uses goal-focused tools alongside gentle exploration of emotions and past experience. Sessions include simple skills to manage intense feelings, clearer ways to communicate, and steps to rebuild trust when it has been damaged. Her practice draws on a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques.
These are used flexibly to suit a person’s situation rather than following a single method. Wing also uses elements of dialectical behaviour work when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed. She has supported people with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction and compassion fatigue as well as those dealing with parenting strain, work stress and life transitions.
Wing also assists people with identity matters such as LGBT concerns, and neurodiversity related issues including autism and ADHD. Sessions are offered in several formats to fit different lives, and international clients are welcomed. Wing describes therapy as a collaborative process where small changes in how someone thinks or communicates can lead to steadier day-to-day life.

How Wing blends practical methods for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, workable steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. It suits people struggling with anxiety, low mood or motivation who want a values-led way forward.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how past experiences shape current trust and communication. This approach can help when relationship conflict, intimacy issues or recurring relational pain are the main concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wing treats the choice of methods as collaborative and tailored to a person’s goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to agree priorities and try methods that feel helpful, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Wing is offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, journalling between sessions or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and international time zones while keeping the focus on practical strategies and emotional support.
