Wai Kan, BACP

Wai Kan is a United Kingdom-based therapist who combines practical approaches with compassionate support to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression and a wide range of life challenges. He brings nine years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which indicates adherence to professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

He works with clients facing issues such as sleep difficulties, addictions, family and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related matters, as well as mood conditions like bipolar disorder. He also supports those coping with career changes, caregiver strain, ADHD, body image and a range of attachment and relational difficulties. His practice includes attention to both clinical concerns and coaching-style goals when appropriate.

Wai Kan approaches therapy from a collaborative stance, viewing each person as the expert on their own life and strengths. He aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore their stories, build coping skills and take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Taking the first step to seek change is recognized as an act of courage, and he offers steady professional support throughout that process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while guiding action toward what matters most in life - it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and values-based goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust, helping clients address intimacy, relationship challenges and attachment-related wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for issues such as anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Wai Kan collaborates with each client to consider their needs, goals and preferences, and tailors methods so the chosen approach feels like a good fit rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy with Wai Kan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and time zones, and allow clients to choose the format that best supports their engagement and progress.
