About Wing
Wing Yau welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, relationship upset or major life changes. She introduces a calm, straightforward style so conversations feel manageable. Her aim is to help people find clearer ways to cope and to strengthen connections that matter to them.
Wing brings 11 years of experience in counselling and holds BACP registration, which she uses to shape practical sessions. She listens first, then helps set achievable goals together. Conversations often focus on everyday changes that make life easier to live rather than abstract theories.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with a client-centred emphasis. That means sessions balance practical skills with space to make sense of feelings. Techniques are chosen to fit each person’s situation and aims.
Wing often supports people dealing with grief and end-of-life concerns, addiction and compassion fatigue, and those facing parenting or family stress. She also helps with anxiety, depression, anger and relationship challenges, and with neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD traits.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. People can expect to practise small skills between meetings and to check what is working as they go. Wing encourages realistic steps that can be tried in everyday life and adjusted over time.

How core approaches shape online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to small actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress, often with short exercises to try between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy gives space for a person to lead the conversation while the counsellor offers empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own answers.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Wing will talk through what feels most helpful, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on a person’s goals and preferences. The choice of method is collaborative rather than fixed from the start.
If you are thinking about online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It also lets people work from different locations and switch techniques without changing settings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone meetings so practical skills can still be practised between sessions.
