Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Hoi-Wing Chan is a great therapist, he listens and shows understanding. He also provokes thinking and analytical skills in the patient which is necessary for recovery.
Thomas is a great guy and very easy to talk to, sometimes I'm struggling and can't really talk or think to maintain conversation but he manages to hear me even when I say very little, I would definitely recommend him.
I’ve been speaking to Thomas for a while now and I can honestly say, my mental health is better than it’s ever been. Thank you so much.
Very attentive, great listener & has insightful suggestions, perspectives and exercises for a variety of worries etc. I’d highly recommend!
Mr. Chan is an amazing therapist. Thanks to him I became to understand the better direction for me, got enough support to see my independent future and became to have more courage to look into myself which is really useful to know my problems and its solutions. He is with well balanced view, very professional and open minded. Wish his success.
Hoi-Wing Chan (Thomas) is a wonderful person to talk to. As a therapist he is knowledgeable on his training and allows me to talk about things that I have kept to myself, helping me to let go of things I am concerned about. He's smart, understanding, respectful, enjoys listening to and telling stories to help heal.
Pleased about the progress I make with his inspiration.
He is a great therapist. He won't give you the answers but will lead you down the path to finding the correct answer yourself.
Thomas somehow us able to read me like a book.
