About Siu

Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He uses a calm, direct style to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Calvin has eight years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which appears after his name as BACP.

Calvin focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes and recurring problems. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings that drive behaviour.

Background and approach

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without being controlled by them, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses. His work includes support for issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleeping and eating problems, and challenges at work. He also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication and intimacy concerns.

Short-term goals and longer-term change are both discussed in sessions. Calvin has worked in different countries and in a range of settings. This background informs his flexible approach and his attention to cultural differences in how people describe distress.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Therapy is provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Online support

How emotion work and practical therapy translate online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions that shape their relationships and behaviour. It focuses on what feelings are being felt in the moment and how those emotions guide responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and to act in line with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports people to test and change patterns that cause distress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods fit the person's goals and make adjustments over time. Clients are invited to shape sessions by saying what helps and what does not. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video makes it easier to read facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people work through thoughts in writing and fit support into busy days. Many people find online sessions reduce travel time and allow therapy to fit around work, childcare or study. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic conversations and exercises that they would in person.
