About Yuk
Yuk Ying Elaine Wong is a counsellor who focuses on helping people make sense of their stories. She uses Narrative ideas alongside other approaches to help clients look at the events and patterns that shape their lives. Elaine draws on 12 years of experience and holds the NCPS credential.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and help people rebuild a sense of identity after change or loss.
Background and approach
Practical tools and plain talk are used rather than jargon. Her work brings together client-centred listening with cognitive and mindfulness skills. That mix lets people notice unhelpful thoughts, practise new ways of coping, and strengthen everyday routines like sleep and stress management.
Elaine also uses emotionally-focused ways of working for relationship concerns. Elaine regularly supports people facing grief, trauma, workplace strain, relationship problems and issues related to sexuality and identity. She also helps with career decisions, coping with a diagnosis such as cancer, immigration stress, and midlife transitions.
Sessions are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Online options include video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy days. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Yuk directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Online therapy grounded in Narrative and practical methods
Elaine blends Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred work to support people online. Narrative work helps people name the stories they tell about themselves and see other possible stories that fit better with their values and goals. ACT focuses on values-based action and learning to live with difficult thoughts without being driven by them. Client-Centred therapy gives space for people to be heard and understood, and often helps with building self-awareness and emotional clarity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elaine will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps most. Decisions about which techniques to use happen together during sessions rather than being fixed in advance.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well when visual connection helps the conversation, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while still using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work.
