About Hoi-Wing

Hoi-Wing Chan is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career issues, ADHD, self-esteem problems and anger. He also supports those coping with major life changes.

He keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He will listen to what matters most and talk through how feelings and patterns show up day to day. Practical steps and reflective conversation appear alongside attention to deeper patterns that may underlie recurring anger or low mood.

His practice draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols, mindful techniques to calm reactivity, and psychodynamic thinking about early patterns that shape reactions. Those methods inform how he works rather than acting as rigid rules. Clients can expect a mix of reflection, noticing present-moment reactions, and looking at past influences on current behaviour.

Sessions are shaped around a client’s goals and pace. He explains ideas plainly and invites feedback about what helps. The focus is on clearer thinking, managing strong feelings, and learning different ways to respond in tense moments.

He offers therapy in English and Cantonese and accepts international clients. Before a first session he asks people to describe their current concerns so sessions start with a clear plan.

How his approaches translate to online work

Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams and meaning to help people see patterns behind recurring feelings. It can be useful when anger or low mood seems connected to long-standing personal themes rather than a single event.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing reactions as they happen and using simple attention practices to reduce reactivity. This approach helps with stress, anxiety and moments when anger rises quickly.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they shape current responses. It helps people understand why certain triggers provoke strong feelings and how to respond differently over time.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit the client’s situation. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as understanding grows.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work well across different ways of meeting.
