About Siu
Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui greets visitors as a calm and direct counsellor who concentrates on what a person needs now. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and practical life changes. Calvin aims to help people improve daily coping, manage difficult feelings, and restore routines that matter to them.
Calvin uses straightforward, talk-based sessions that invite people to describe their struggles in plain language.
Background and approach
He draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor work to each person's situation. Sessions often cover patterns in relationships, how past hurts affect current behaviour, and small steps that reduce distress. He trained and practised across different countries and settings, and brings eight years of experience to his work in the United Kingdom.
His background includes residential, outpatient and school settings, as well as independent practice work. Calvin holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Calvin commonly uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed work.
These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, reconnect with values, and rebuild trust in relationships. The focus is on practical change rather than technical jargon. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people both inside and outside the UK.
People can expect clear aims in each session and collaborative planning between meetings.

How Calvin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Calvin often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work when meeting people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, decide what matters to them, and take small actions toward those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps rebuild safer, more trusting ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Calvin will discuss different methods and adapt sessions to a person’s aims, pace and comfort. The choice of approach is collaborative and may shift as goals evolve.
Online formats let people fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on harder days. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, day-to-day coping, or when written reflection helps. These options aim to make continuity and access simpler while maintaining regular therapeutic focus.
