How CBT and Emotion-Focused Work Online

Roy uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes. CBT sessions often include clear goals, short-term tasks and steady steps to reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and sit with strong feelings and improve how they connect in relationships; it focuses on understanding emotional patterns and creating new ways of relating.

Figuring out the best approach is a shared process. Roy will discuss preferences, life demands and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques from CBT or EFT to fit each person's goals. Clients can expect a collaborative plan that may change as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make language-matching simpler for those wanting English or Cantonese support. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and emotional work to an online setting while helping clients practise changes between sessions.
