About Wai
Wai Kan is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused therapies to help people manage anxiety and stress. He works from a belief that each person knows their own story and strengths. Wai offers steady support as someone takes the first steps toward feeling better.
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred work to create clear, usable steps. Sessions focus on small changes people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Wai helps people notice patterns, test new behaviours and build habits that reduce overwhelm. Wai has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He has worked with issues such as depression, grief, relationship concerns and sleeping problems.
He also supports people dealing with addictive behaviours, burnout and compassion fatigue. Wai pays attention to attachment and life stories when understanding difficulties. That perspective can help with intimacy concerns, abandonment feelings and self‑esteem work.
He aims to make room for a person’s values when planning change. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people outside the UK. Wai uses straightforward language and a calm pace.
He encourages practical experiment and reflection so clients can apply what they learn to daily life.
Evidence-informed approaches adapted for online therapy
Wai commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Wai treats it as a collaborative task. He will discuss options with each person, try methods suited to their goals and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies feel most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer audio only. Shorter check-ins can be arranged by message or chat for quick support between longer sessions.
