About Wing
Wing Yau welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or big life changes. She uses clear, practical steps to help people manage mood, handle conflict, and rebuild connection in their everyday lives.
Background and approach
Wing works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese and has eleven years of experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Wing draws on methods such as the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Sessions focus on simple tools you can use between meetings, not on jargon or tests. Wing pays attention to how attachment and past experiences shape current reactions.
She helps people understand why they respond the way they do and to practise different, more effective ways of communicating and coping. Work may include emotion work, behaviour experiments and building routines that support better sleep and mood.
She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction, parenting stresses and identity concerns, including LGBT matters. Wing explains options clearly and helps people set realistic, step-by-step goals that fit their life and commitments.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Wing aims to make that first contact simple: a short matching questionnaire and an initial session to agree goals.
From there she works at a pace people can manage, helping them build skills that last.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Wing integrates the Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, spotting unhelpful interaction patterns and practising small behavioural changes to reduce conflict and build connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings, clarify personal values and take practical steps towards a meaningful life even when emotions are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wing works together with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts exercises and homework so they fit into everyday life and reviews progress regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging suit brief updates, short coaching-style conversations and flexible check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones while keeping the focus on practical change.
