About Hoi-Wing
Hoi-Wing Chan is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and trauma. He also supports those coping with life changes, career difficulties, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy challenges, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem issues. He speaks English and Cantonese and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped to suit individual needs rather than following a single script.
Background and approach
That means practical conversations, space to tell your story, and collaborative planning about what to try next. His work draws on Jungian ideas about symbols and life meaning, psychodynamic thinking about past patterns, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. These threads are used in different combinations depending on what someone is bringing to sessions.
The focus is on understanding patterns, reducing distress and trying new ways of coping. Sessions usually start by clarifying immediate concerns and practical goals. From there he and the client set short-term steps and check how things are changing.
This makes progress easier to notice and keeps work relevant to day-to-day life. People who choose him often want a thoughtful, steady style that balances reflection with down-to-earth tools. He aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more manageable and satisfying life.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without reacting to them. Those skills can reduce reactivity to stress and help with anxiety, depression and managing cravings or strong emotions.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past relationships and early patterns that keep showing up now. It helps people uncover unconscious habits and make different choices in their current life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as you learn more about what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit busy lives and different needs. Video is good when visual cues matter, phone works well for a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth, and messaging is helpful for ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family and travel.
