About Wai
Wai Kan is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, and depression. He also supports those dealing with anger, addiction, sleeping difficulties and identity concerns.
He describes the client as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths people already have. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than abstract labels. Expect straightforward conversations about current problems and small, doable changes to test between meetings.
Wai uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers tools for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and past connections affect present life.
In sessions he usually listens first, then works with clients to set simple goals. He offers skills for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and sleeping better. For someone wrestling with irritation, resentment, or repeating angry reactions, he helps identify triggers and practical ways to respond differently.
People who come for help with career strain, parenting stress, or long-term health problems are offered the same practical focus. He can talk through issues around intimacy, body image and sexual culture without judgment. International clients may also arrange to work with him in English.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting consumed by them, then take steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or anger. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people experiment with different ways of relating. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences together and adapt the approach as sessions progress. That way the plan evolves from what the client finds useful rather than being fixed in advance. Session logistics should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Confirm which formats are offered and how they fit into your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around busy days, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel for appointments. International clients can arrange to work in English, and the therapist will help make practical adjustments so sessions suit everyday life.Areas of expertise
