About Hoi-Wing
Hoi-Wing Chan helps people dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression and life changes. He also supports those facing stress, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions, anger, addictions, low self-esteem and ADHD. He speaks English and Cantonese and practices in the United Kingdom.
He works in a respectful and sensitive way. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. He listens, asks practical questions and helps people identify steps that feel manageable.
Background and approach
The aim is to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming. His approach draws on Jungian ideas about personal meaning, psychodynamic thinking about past patterns, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness. These methods are used to understand what's keeping problems going and to try new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings.
Hoi-Wing Chan has 11 years of professional experience and holds BACP. He adapts the pace and focus of therapy to suit different concerns, from immediate coping strategies to longer-term reflection on life themes. People who choose him typically want a blend of talking, self-reflection and practical steps.
He invites clients to shape the work together and to review progress as therapy continues. If you prefer sessions in Cantonese that can be arranged.

How Hoi-Wing works online
Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress and grounding after trauma by teaching practical ways to calm and centre attention.
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and patterns influence current reactions. Through regular conversation, the therapist helps people spot repeating habits and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, trial methods and adjust the plan as needed. This happens together, with time to see what feels most helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same thoughtful support remotely as in person, and the therapist will help match the approach to practical life needs.
