About

Vickie Wai Hay Chan moved to the United Kingdom from Hong Kong with her family in 2022. She is a registered counsellor with the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 18 years of professional experience, including more than 15 years practising in Hong Kong.

She speaks English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Vickie holds a Master Degree in Counselling from Australia (2006), a Professional Certificate in the Use of Satir Growth Model in Individual and Family Therapy, and a Professional Certificate in Sex Therapy, and she is a Certified Sex Therapist.

Working full time as a counsellor and sex therapist, she has provided counselling in hospitals and social service organisations, primarily supporting people with mental health issues. Over the past 10 years she has developed focused experience addressing work stress, relationship difficulties, mental health concerns, crisis intervention and sex therapy in EAP settings.

Her approach is rooted in family therapy principles and humanistic theories such as Satir’s model. Vickie believes that people possess inner resources to meet life’s challenges and that therapy is a collaborative journey of uncovering those strengths.

She welcomes those who wish to explore their inner resources and strengthen their self-help abilities, and offers to accompany them through that process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether remote counselling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A key benefit is flexibility - people can connect in the format that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Therapists offering these services are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to change therapists if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy offers an accessible option for addressing everyday mental health and relationship issues while retaining many of the benefits associated with conventional therapy.
