About Tsz

Tsz Yan Elizabeth Yau is a BACP-credentialed therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers multilingual support in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. With three years of professional practice, she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of life changes and emotional challenges. She draws on a blend of talking therapies and creative methods to meet each person's needs and preferences.

Her background includes work with people affected by incarceration, ex-offenders, and individuals dealing with drug and mental health issues, as well as people coping with grief, loss, and trauma. That experience informs a practical and compassionate approach when supporting clients through difficult transitions and longstanding patterns of distress.

Tsz Yan integrates client-centered principles with evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical strategies, and she also incorporates hypnotherapy and creative materials where appropriate. She tailors conversation and treatment plans to reflect each person's unique situation, goals, and pace.

Committed to collaborative care, she encourages people to explore different methods for self-understanding and growth, and she affirms the courage it takes to begin therapeutic work. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Approaches and online options for collaborative care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. It helps people gain clarity about their feelings, build self-acceptance, and work through personal obstacles at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that benefit from structured skill-building.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.



Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Tsz Yan works collaboratively to determine which methods align with a client’s goals, values, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals without rearranging daily life, allowing continuity of care across locations and time zones.
