Wai Kan

Wai Kan is a counsellor who combines practical therapies to help people manage anger, stress and anxiety. He works from the belief that clients know their own stories and already hold strengths to draw on. Seeking help can feel daunting, and he aims to offer steady support as people take that first step.

He has nine years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Over that time he has worked with people facing depression, grief and loss, relationship strain and issues around intimacy. He also supports those dealing with addictions, sleep problems and self‑esteem concerns.

Wai uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients focus on values and small, meaningful steps. He also uses Attachment‑Based and Client‑Centred ideas to build understanding and a steady therapeutic relationship.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Clients can expect to talk about what matters, try small experiments between sessions, and build coping skills for day‑to‑day life. Wai also works with issues such as ADHD, burnout and compassion fatigue, and supports people navigating big life changes.

He offers support for a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating and body image difficulties, career questions, and intimacy‑related problems. International clients can be accommodated and sessions are conducted in English.

How this therapist uses proven approaches online

Wai commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then take small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different, practical ways of responding to reduce distress.

He also draws on Attachment‑Based and Client‑Centred principles to build a reliable working relationship. That means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what matters, and works with each person to shape goals and methods. Finding the right approach is part of the process and he will work collaboratively to choose what fits best for a client's needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy around daily life, makes follow‑up easier, and allows shorter check‑ins when time is limited. The focus remains on practical skills, values‑based steps and strategies you can use between meetings.
