Wing Yau
About me
My name is Wing Yau, a registered and accredited counselor in the UK with over 10 years of experience in both private practice and organizational settings, supporting individuals, couples, and families on their journeys of personal growth and self-discovery. I hold a Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy and am a certified Child-Centered Play Therapy practitioner. With a strong background in emotional counseling for issues like depression, anxiety, stress management, and self-image, I provide a compassionate, supportive environment tailored to each client’s unique needs.
In addition to individual counseling, I specialize in marriage counseling, helping couples build stronger connections, resolve conflicts, and enhance communication. My expertise in Child-Centered Play Therapy enables me to work effectively with children by creating a therapeutic space that respects their pace and perspective, fostering confidence, emotional expression, and healthy coping strategies.
I also offer parenting support, equipping parents with tools to better understand and nurture their children’s emotional and developmental needs. For adolescents, I focus on building resilience and self-esteem, guiding them through the unique challenges of growing up.
Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, relationship guidance, or therapeutic help for a young family member, I am here to walk alongside you. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a commitment to helping you and your family achieve lasting, meaningful change.

My experience with Wing was better than I could have ever imagined. I immediately felt comfortable talking with her. Post-divorce, I was very sad and lost- Wing helped me understand the stages of grief and how to navigate life.
