About Tsz
Tsz Yan Elizabeth Yau is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating problems, anger, career stress and depression.
Her style is direct and practical. She uses talking therapy alongside creative methods such as mindful art activities. These include Zentangle and Nagomi art techniques as ways to slow down, notice patterns and express feelings when words are hard to find.
Clinically, she draws on client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on what the client brings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques are used for managing unhelpful thoughts and strong emotions. She also offers hypnotherapy as an additional option for clients who find it useful.
Her background includes work with people affected by substance issues, mental health challenges, imprisonment and re-entry. That experience informs practical approaches to coping, relapse prevention and rebuilding routine after big life changes.
Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. Online sessions using this approach still centre the client's concerns, allowing exploration of triggers and patterns that drive anger.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down thought-feeling-behaviour links. Online CBT offers tools and exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and practise different responses between sessions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. These skills can be demonstrated and practised during remote sessions and then applied in everyday situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk through goals, try things out, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means working together to find which mix of talking, skills practice or creative techniques best fits a person's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel, and allow brief check-ins when a longer visit is hard to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and art-based tools to suit an online setting.
