About Wing
Wing Yau offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She helps with low mood, relationship strain, anger and addictive behaviours. Sessions also address sleeping or eating difficulties, work and career worries, and concerns around identity and intimacy.
Wing speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese which can help people express themselves more easily. She draws on a mix of talking therapies and hypnotherapy to suit individual needs.
Background and approach
That can mean learning clearer ways to manage strong emotions. It can also mean practising new thinking patterns and bringing attention back to what matters most in life. Wing trained and practises using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - alongside client-centred and attachment-based work.
These approaches are used to improve coping, communication and emotional regulation in day-to-day life. Her background includes over 11 years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses that experience to tailor sessions to each person’s situation and goals.
People describe the first meetings as practical and straightforward. Wing aims to build skills you can use between sessions, whether that is managing stress at work, repairing a strained relationship, or coping with loss and change.

Online support
How hypnotherapy and talking therapies work online
Wing integrates hypnotherapy with two common talking approaches. Hypnotherapy involves relaxed, focused sessions that can help with stress, sleeping or habits by guiding attention and building new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most, and is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with panic, depression and insomnia.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. That way the plan stays responsive to the person’s needs and life circumstances.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good when seeing facial cues matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the move, and brief check-ins by chat or text suit people who need occasional support. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping a consistent course of care.
