About Siu

Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui is a counsellor with eight years of experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. He speaks English and works with adults from different backgrounds.

Background and approach

Calvin aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so parents and busy people can fit therapy into their lives. Calvin draws on approaches that focus on connection and behaviour.

He uses the Gottman Method alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. In a session he listens first, then helps people name what matters and try small, manageable changes.

Calvin has practised in a range of settings internationally, including work in the United States and Hong Kong before working in the United Kingdom. He holds a BACP credential, which is shown as BACP.

That reflects his professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Typical concerns he addresses include depression, bipolar mood issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain and workplace stress.

He also helps with intimacy, communication problems, codependency and finding life purpose. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and improve everyday functioning.

Calvin prefers a collaborative style. He offers concrete strategies drawn from different therapies and helps people track what works.

Practical steps, homework tasks and clear goals often form part of the work so progress can be measured over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Calvin combines the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. The Gottman Method focuses on communication habits and building practical routines that improve relationship interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify values, accept difficult feelings and take committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-based work looks at early connection patterns and helps people understand how these shape current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Calvin will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor whether sessions lean more on behavioural tools, values-based work or exploring attachment history.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family or travel while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
