Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui, BACP

Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by life. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, mood issues and sleep or eating difficulties. Calvin presents a direct, caring style that aims to make talks feel useful and manageable for busy people and parents.

Calvin uses simple, evidence-informed tools to help people find clearer choices. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - to build values-based action. Attachment-based work and emotionally-focused methods are also part of his practice when relationships or intimacy are at the centre of concern.

He holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and brings eight years of clinical experience. His background includes work in outpatient and private settings in several countries, which informs a culturally aware approach. Sessions are offered in English.

In a typical meeting Calvin listens first, then suggests small experiments or exercises to try between sessions. He helps set short-term goals and practical steps for coping with challenging feelings or conflict. Over time the work moves towards clearer patterns, better communication and choices that match a person's values.

People can expect a down-to-earth process that mixes talking with simple skills practice. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with tools people can use outside sessions to handle stress, improve sleep, or work through relationship difficulties.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with mood, sleep and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try out methods collaboratively to see what fits. Together they will choose techniques that match the person's needs, whether that means learning new coping skills, working on relationship patterns, or reducing unhelpful behaviours.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a screen is not wanted. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
