Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui, BACP

Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui is a UK-based psychotherapist with eight years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents and adults from a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. He has practiced in residential, outpatient and school settings as well as in private practice across the United States, Hong Kong and now the United Kingdom, bringing a broad perspective to issues that affect individuals and families.

Calvin is committed to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions while supporting improvements in relationships, intimacy and family dynamics. He also works with challenges such as addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting and workplace concerns, and identity and purpose questions. His additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, avoidant personality patterns, commitment and communication problems, and the effects of family of origin on current functioning.

In clinical work he draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Attachment-Based methods that explore relational patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for relational and emotional repair, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered principles that emphasise personal values and the therapeutic relationship. He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and integrates these approaches collaboratively to match each person’s needs and goals.

Calvin places a strong emphasis on education and personal growth, aiming to help clients build healthier relationships and develop practical strategies for lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of intimacy and trust; it helps people understand and change repetitive relational dynamics that contribute to distance, conflict or anxiety in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and support clearer decision-making. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on experiencing and expressing emotions within relationships, helping partners or family members create stronger emotional bonds and resolve recurring conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore needs, goals and preferences, then blends techniques from different models to form a tailored plan rather than relying on a single method. Clients are invited to take an active role in shaping the work so therapy fits their life and objectives.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to receive consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
