Vickie Wai Hay Chan, BACP

Vickie Wai Hay Chan is a UK-based counsellor and sex therapist who relocated from Hong Kong with her family in 2022. She brings 18 years of clinical experience working across hospital, social service, and employee assistance program settings, with a long history of supporting people facing work stress, relationship difficulties, mental health concerns, crisis situations, and intimacy-related challenges.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her training includes a Master degree in Counselling earned in Australia in 2006, as well as professional certificates in the Satir Growth Model for individual and family therapy and in sex therapy. She is also recognised as a certified sex therapist.

Vickie works full time as a counsellor and sex therapist. Her clinical background includes extensive practice in Hong Kong before moving to the UK, and in the past decade she has developed particular expertise in employee assistance program settings where she has provided support for work-related stress, relationships, mental health, crisis intervention, and sex therapy.

Her therapeutic style is grounded in family therapy principles and humanistic approaches, drawing on the Satir model while also integrating client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused methods. She believes people have internal resources they can activate to meet life challenges and aims to help individuals discover and strengthen those capacities.

Fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, Vickie is available to work with individuals and families on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and intimacy matters, sexual health, multicultural concerns, and transitions such as pregnancy, postpartum and divorce. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and welcomes international clients who seek support in any of her spoken languages.
