About Siu
Siu Hin "Calvin" Lui is a counsellor who focuses on practical support for parents and individuals dealing with relationship and parenting challenges. He speaks plainly and aims to help people find clearer ways to handle stress, anxiety and the strains that come with raising children.
Calvin draws on eight years of experience working in residential, outpatient, school and independent practice settings across the United States, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
He holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his credential. In sessions he uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. He helps clients notice patterns in relationships and parenting, and then tries small, manageable changes to test what works.
He also addresses sleep, eating, grief, addiction and life transitions when these affect daily family life. Calvin uses a mix of approaches depending on the situation. He may focus on thoughts and behaviours with cognitive behavioural therapy, look at emotional bonding and closeness with attachment work, or adopt a client-centred stance that follows what the person brings.
He aims for collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. People who choose him can expect calm, direct conversations and practical steps to try between sessions. He offers online formats and written messaging to fit busy family schedules, and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally who prefer remote support.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Calvin commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based approaches when working online. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can ease anxiety, depression and repetitive parenting reactions. Attachment-based work looks at emotional bonds and patterns of closeness, which is useful for intimacy, communication and parenting challenges.He also uses a client-centred stance that prioritises the person's experience and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process and he will work together with each person to decide what feels most useful. Goals and methods are reviewed as therapy progresses so plans can change based on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility for parents and busy adults. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen tools for worksheets. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and may fit a short break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins, written reflections or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to access therapy around daily routines and commitments.
