About Wing
Wing Yau is a counsellor with more than 11 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and offers sessions to people in the UK and internationally. Wing aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can start feeling steadier in day-to-day life.
She helps with stress, anxiety, anger and depression, and supports people facing grief, major life changes and career challenges. Relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and parenting strain are also areas she addresses.
Background and approach
Wing also works with people dealing with addictions, ADHD, compassion fatigue and a range of other life stressors. Her approach blends body-aware work with talking therapies. Somatic techniques help people notice physical reactions and learn simple ways to calm their nervous system.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to develop new responses to difficult thoughts and feelings. Wing uses a person-centred stance that puts each person’s priorities at the centre of sessions. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early attachment experiences are relevant to current problems.
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication and small changes that add up over time. People can expect a calm, direct style and straightforward tools to try between meetings. Wing invites clients to set realistic goals and to take therapy at a pace that feels manageable.
Her practice emphasises steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice what their body is doing when emotions flare. Online sessions can guide gentle body awareness and grounding exercises, and teach simple ways to reduce physical tension that often accompanies anxiety or anger.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts without fighting them and to act according to their values. It is useful for stress, low mood and life transitions because it focuses on small actions that build a more meaningful life.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. In conversation, the therapist helps people identify repeating patterns and practise different ways of relating to others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to test what helps most, and adapts methods to the client’s goals and preferences. Sessions feel like a partnership rather than a set programme.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while still practising exercises and communication skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep therapy accessible for people in different places.
