About Wing
Wing Yau is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with six years' professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression, and she also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment, guilt and shame. She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Wing describes counselling as a place to talk without judgement. She aims to offer a non-shaming and supportive space where people can speak about difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational, with an emphasis on noticing current strengths and resources.
In sessions she helps clients clarify what they are facing and sort through painful emotions. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as harsh self-blame or isolation, and gently points out alternative ways of understanding those reactions. She encourages small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life.
Wing works with cultural and identity concerns and acknowledges how prejudice or discrimination can shape shame and grief. When trauma or sexual assault is part of a person's story, she focuses on stabilising reactions and building coping tools before addressing traumatic memories more directly.
Her style is steady and conversational. She supports people to build clearer thinking about choices, notice strengths they already have, and practise responses that reduce self-criticism. The aim is clearer thinking and more usable coping skills, rather than quick fixes.
How Wing uses evidence-based techniques in online work
Wing's profile notes she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with trauma, mood and relationship-related worries. One approach is stabilisation and grounding work, which teaches short exercises and routines to reduce overwhelming physical reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. This is helpful when anxiety, panic or trauma responses make it hard to think clearly.A second focus is on addressing negative self-beliefs and patterns of self-blame. That work involves identifying repeated thoughts that deepen shame and practising alternative responses and small behavioural changes. It suits people carrying guilt about actions, identity, or past relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wing will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts methods as the work unfolds so the therapy matches real-life circumstances.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting talks into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking.
