Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. He works with those struggling with relationships, intimacy, addictions, grief, mood difficulties and work pressures. Calvin is based in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

Calvin draws on eight years of clinical experience. He uses practical, conversational methods so clients can talk through what matters most. Sessions focus on building clearer communication, managing strong emotions and finding everyday ways to cope.

Background and approach

He blends approaches that look at thoughts, emotions and early relationship patterns. That mix helps people change unhelpful habits and grow more satisfying connections with others. He also supports people dealing with sleep or eating concerns, parenting strain, anger and workplace stress.

Calvin holds BACP, which shows his registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. His background includes work in a range of settings across different countries, which informs a flexible, culturally aware style. In the first sessions he helps people set simple goals and decide which methods to try.

The emphasis is on small, realistic steps that fit daily life. People who want direct, warm and practical counselling often find this approach helpful.

Approaches that transfer well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while focusing on small actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and closeness, which can help with intimacy and communication struggles. Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to lead the conversation, with the counsellor offering empathy and non-judgemental support to build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together so it fits the person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to use action-focused work, explore early relationship patterns, or take a more person-led pace.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suits short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options let people fit counselling around work, travel or busy home life while keeping regular contact with a therapist.
