About Tsz

Tsz Yan Elizabeth Yau welcomes people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and loss. She also helps with low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating or anger issues, career questions, and major life changes. Her name is shown here so people can recognise who they would be working with.

Elizabeth uses a mix of talk-based work and creative methods. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and pace. She offers straightforward conversations, practical skills, and gentle exploration rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in social services in Hong Kong where she supported people with drug and mental health issues, people in prison and those rebuilding life after custody. That experience shaped a practical, non-judgemental approach to difficult situations like addiction and trauma. She also brings hypnotherapy and creative art practices into sessions when helpful.

Elizabeth is a registered hypnotherapist with the General Hypnotherapy Register and uses mindful art materials such as Zentangle and Nagomi art alongside talking therapy. Clients who want structured tools can work with cognitive and behavioural practices, while others may prefer a client-centred, exploratory style. She will discuss options and tailor a plan to match goals and comfort level.

Sessions can be conducted in English, Mandarin or Cantonese. Elizabeth holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she integrates her varied experience to support people navigating change and recovery.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the client sets the pace and topics. It helps people who need acceptance, clarity and gentle guidance while they talk through their concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and some patterns linked to addiction or relationship difficulties. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when someone needs support with emotion regulation, distress tolerance and communication challenges. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That plan can change as progress is made or as new needs emerge. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in when time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing reflection, brief coaching or when someone prefers writing to speaking. Registered professionals and therapists adapt these tools for the online setting so people can work on trauma, anxiety, addiction and life transitions with flexible access and a variety of session styles.
