About Charlotte Yau

Charlotte Yau works with people navigating life between cultures or identities, including those who have migrated recently, grew up between cultural worlds, or are managing a caring role. Individuals she sees may experience a sense of disconnection, difficulty with belonging, or carry unspoken grief tied to identity, language, or family expectations. Many seek a therapeutic space where their full complexity is welcomed and where culture is not something they must explain or defend. In sessions with her, people often use the time to reflect on their journeys, process difficult memories, and rebuild a sense of identity and stability in a new context.

Her approach to therapy is aimed at helping clients reconnect with themselves, develop resilience, and restore balance. She offers a warm, compassionate environment where people from diverse backgrounds can explore their experiences, identities, grief, and challenges in ways that respect cultural values and personal narratives. Whether addressing anxiety, stress, low mood, or identity struggles, she brings compassion, hope, and attentive care to the therapeutic work. Charlotte holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) membership and has five years of clinical experience. She is based in the United Kingdom, maintains availability on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and is not currently accepting new clients.

Many people ask whether online therapy can produce meaningful change. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy life or to access support from a location that is convenient.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and clients can change therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many, online therapy offers a practical, effective route to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns while accommodating individual schedules and needs.
