Wai Kan, BACP

Wai Kan is a counsellor who bases his work on practical, person-centred methods. He uses clear, straightforward conversations to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. He also supports clients dealing with grief, loss and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.

He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client‑centred listening. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and choose actions that match their values. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him and on simple steps they can try between meetings.

Wai has nine years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. He frames the work as a collaboration, with the client seen as the expert in their own life. This means sessions often include practical skills, reflective conversation and planning for real‑world change.

He has worked with a wide range of concerns including addictions, sleeping problems, parenting stresses, chronic health issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also supports people exploring attachment wounds, abandonment and challenges related to kink and alternative sex culture.

Wai offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. If you are considering therapy, he encourages a short initial match so you can see whether his way of working fits your needs.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early patterns influence current connections, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wai treats this as a team effort, asking about your goals and trying methods that suit your situation. He will suggest options, check how they feel in practice, and adapt based on what helps you make steady progress.

If you are thinking about online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow brief check‑ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to practical tasks and worksheet work that you can use between sessions, which fits well with remote conversations. Discuss scheduling and the most useful way to meet when you start the matching process.
