About Wing

Wing Yau is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She sees people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship difficulties and a range of life transitions. Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and she accepts international clients.

Wing focuses on helping clients talk through feelings that are hard to name. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other well-known approaches to help people notice patterns in emotion and connection. In practical terms that can mean working on communication, managing overwhelming emotions or coping with grief and loss.

Her background includes many years supporting clients with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, addiction issues and career or identity questions. She blends client-centred listening with techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to offer concrete steps you can try between sessions.

Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing different ways of responding, and building skills to handle stressful moments. Wing pays attention to attachment and how past experiences influence present relationships. She also works with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, ADHD-related struggles, and carers' stress.

People who contact her usually want direct, practical conversations about change. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about noticing and naming emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. Online sessions can still focus on those emotional moments and on changing how someone responds when feelings become overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify values and take small, practical steps towards them. In remote sessions this often means setting short, doable experiments to try between appointments. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current connections and communication. Online conversation can bring those patterns into view and create chances to try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each client and decide together which methods fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as work progresses so the focus remains helpful and relevant.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins, and making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments. The emphasis is on practical access and making therapy easier to use alongside everyday responsibilities.
