About Wing
Wing Yau offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She helps clients talk through relationship problems, manage strong emotions like anger, and find ways to cope with depression and grief. Wing introduces straightforward tools so people can feel steadier day to day.
She uses an approach rooted in Existential thinking paired with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural work. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
That might mean learning new skills, making different choices, or looking more closely at personal values and meaning. Wing trained and practises under BACP, which means she follows professional standards in the United Kingdom. She has 11 years of experience working with adults on a wide range of concerns including addictions, parenting stress, career pressures, eating and sleeping problems, and trauma-related issues.
She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and accepts international clients. Work tends to be collaborative - Wing helps people set goals and decides on next steps together. Sessions can include short-term practical plans or longer-term exploration depending on what the person wants.
Wing aims to make therapy usable in everyday life. Conversations are direct and compassionate, with attention to small changes that add up. She encourages people to build resilience and clearer ways of relating to others and themselves.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential work helps people look at meaning, choice and personal values in their lives. It supports questions about purpose, identity and how to live with uncertainty, which can help when facing major life changes or low mood.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match a person's values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants practical steps to move forward.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns in how people connect and communicate. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and problems with trust.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and the problems they bring. That may mean trying skill-based exercises one week and reflective conversations the next.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins, chat or text are useful for brief reflections during the week, and video calls allow fuller conversation when more depth is needed. These options give flexibility and let people pick what helps them engage best.
