About Wing
Wing Yau is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, and life changes. She also supports people with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career or self-esteem worries.
Her sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred approaches and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). This means she notices unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tries different ways of responding together with the client.
Wing describes relationship and family work as a particular focus. She helps partners and individuals improve communication, repair trust, and manage conflict. She pays attention to attachment patterns and how early experiences affect current relationships.
Clients can expect short, clear tasks to practise between meetings. Wing aims for steady skill-building rather than quick fixes. She draws on practical strategies for managing mood, regulating anger, and coping with stressful events.
She offers sessions in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It breaks problems into small, practical steps and is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and practise actions that fit those values, even when thoughts or feelings are uncomfortable. Attachment-Based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and communication.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about session length and practical arrangements when arranging the first appointment.
