About Hoi-Wing

Hoi-Wing Chan works with people on trauma and abuse, career difficulties, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem and ADHD. He uses psychodynamic, Jungian and mindfulness approaches and has been practising for 11 years. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Hoi-Wing frames sessions as a place to talk through current problems and patterns that keep coming back. He listens for recurring themes and life events, then explores how these relate to feelings and behaviour now. He explains ideas plainly and uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions.

His psychodynamic work looks at long-standing patterns that began earlier in life and how these turn up in relationships and at work. Jungian-informed ideas may be used to look at personal symbols, meaning and inner conflicts. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, anxiety and coping with difficult emotions.

Sessions are conversational and reflective, with both short-term practical ideas and deeper exploration available depending on what the person wants. He adapts his focus to the client rather than following a single rigid method. People can expect clear explanations about why a technique is suggested and what it aims to do.

Hoi-Wing works in English and Cantonese. He practices in the United Kingdom and has experience across a range of life transitions and emotional difficulties. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Hoi-Wing uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating life patterns and relationships, helping people see how past experiences affect current feelings and choices. This can help with depression, relationship concerns and ongoing emotional problems.

He also draws on Jungian therapy to consider personal symbols, inner conflicts and meaning. That approach is useful for people who want to explore dreams, creativity or deeper questions about identity. Mindfulness therapy forms a practical strand, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and anxiety and to reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree a plan together. The focus is collaborative rather than prescriptive, and methods may shift as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support a steady practice of mindfulness and reflective work between sessions.
