About Wing
Wing Yau offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or big life changes. She welcomes conversations in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and uses a mix of talking therapies to suit each person. Wing writes plainly and listens closely so people can make steady, manageable changes.
She brings 11 years of experience in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client - reducing day-to-day anxiety, coping with grief, managing anger, or working through addiction and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Practical skills sit alongside deeper reflection in her work. Her approach blends Jungian ideas about meaning and inner imagery with evidence‑based methods such as cognitive behavioural work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Attachment thinking is used when relationships and trust are a key concern. This mix helps with symptoms as well as underlying patterns that keep problems returning. Wing adapts sessions to the person’s needs.
Some people prefer short, skills‑focused meetings. Others choose longer, reflective sessions that look at life stories and recurring themes. She also offers coaching-style conversations for career or life transition support.
People who choose Wing can expect a steady, respectful pace. She encourages small experiments between sessions and keeps goals practical. Sessions can be in different formats to fit busy lives and different time zones.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Jungian-informed work helps people notice recurring life themes and inner imagery, which can reveal why certain problems keep returning and what brings meaning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to take small actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present connections and communication, helping people improve trust and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wing will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to find what fits. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted to suit the client’s needs and pace rather than a fixed programme.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper reflection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins or days when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging can be used for short, reflective exchanges or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people balance therapy with work, family and travel across time zones.
