Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It is useful for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes by building psychological flexibility and practical skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of relating and emotional bonds formed in early life and current relationships. This approach supports people and couples who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment concerns, or recurring relationship conflicts by exploring how attachment patterns shape responses and helping to develop more secure ways of connecting.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and the client’s own capacity for growth. By providing an accepting, non-directive environment, this approach can bolster self-esteem, clarify goals, and support personal decision making during times of transition.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wing Yau works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate techniques from several approaches to create a tailored plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with a registered professional from different locations.
