Hoi-Wing Chan helps people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He also supports those facing stress, career doubts, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, low self esteem and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Cantonese and Hoi-Wing brings 11 years of experience to his work.

He aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly about what is hard.

Background and approach

He listens for the patterns that keep causing pain and works with each person to set practical, achievable goals. Conversations are adapted to fit the person rather than forcing a single method. Hoi-Wing draws on Jungian ideas to look at personal stories and unconscious patterns.

He also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their thoughts and regulate strong emotions. His psychodynamic approach looks at how past experiences shape present reactions. He explains things plainly and focuses on small steps that make daily life easier.

People can expect collaborative sessions where the therapist and client plan what to try between meetings. Hoi-Wing describes his role as offering support and encouragement while people try out new ways of coping. Sessions are available across the United Kingdom and to international clients.

Appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Hoi-Wing uses Jungian Therapy to help people look at recurring life themes and personal stories that shape feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for understanding inner conflicts and finding new meaning in difficult experiences.

He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm. Mindfulness helps with strong emotions, anxiety and improving daily focus by building small skills people can use between sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas sometimes inform the work too, helping to uncover how past relationships affect current patterns. This can be helpful when people notice repeated reactions they want to change.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then together they try methods that suit the person. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the approach fits real needs rather than a label.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional support.
