How CBT and EFT guide counselling online
Roy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in ways that suit online talking therapy. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small practical steps, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding emotions and patterns in close relationships, which can help people feeling stuck around intimacy and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Roy collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to use thought-focused exercises, emotion-focused conversations, or a blend of both as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments and to use brief check-ins when needed. The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking to find the setup that fits your routine.
