Hoi-Wing Chan, BACP

Hoi-Wing Chan helps people facing trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress and problems with work or career. He also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, anger, self-esteem struggles, intimacy issues, parenting pressures and ADHD. He communicates in English and Cantonese and works from the United Kingdom.

He uses straightforward conversation and a gentle, respectful manner. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him. He adapts the pace and topics to each individual's needs and aims to make therapy practical and understandable.

He has 11 years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs his work and helps him blend different ways of working to suit each person.

In therapy he draws on Jungian ideas about personal meaning and inner symbols to help people explore recurring patterns. He also uses mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Psychodynamic thinking is applied to look at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and choices.

People who choose him can expect a collaborative process. He helps set clear goals and checks progress regularly. The overall aim is to make everyday life feel more manageable and to help people move toward the changes they want.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Hoi-Wing Chan draws on Jungian Therapy to help people explore inner symbols, personal meaning and recurring life themes; this can be useful for people wrestling with identity, trauma and long-standing patterns. He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and make strong emotions easier to manage. Psychodynamic Therapy is applied to look at how past relationships and experiences may influence current feelings and choices and to help uncover repeated ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and then agree a plan that feels right. That shared decision-making means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit what is most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person conversation and useful for deeper exploration. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text is helpful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around life.
