About Wai
Wai Kan is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He draws on nine years of professional experience and believes people are the experts on their own lives. Wai focuses on building on strengths so clients can move past what holds them back and find more fulfilment.
He works with common life issues such as grief and loss, relationship strain, sleep problems and coping with big changes. He also supports people managing addictions, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns and the challenges of ADHD. Codependency, attachment difficulties and communication problems are among his additional focus areas.
Wai uses therapies that help people notice how they think and behave, and then try out different ways of responding. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thought patterns and practical skills. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect present-day connections.
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at real-world changes. Wai listens, helps set clear goals, and introduces techniques clients can use between meetings. He encourages small steps that add up over time.
Wai is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He practises in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. To begin, he asks people to reflect on what matters most and to identify the first small change they want to try.
How these approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and offers clear exercises and homework to try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more satisfying ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wai will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
