About Roy
Roy previously volunteered as a counsellor in Hong Kong and has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including family and relationship difficulties, hearing-impairment related issues, career development concerns, depression and anxiety. He relocated to the UK in November 2021 and now offers therapy in both English and Cantonese, accepting international clients.
In practice he draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, emotionally focused therapy and Bowen family systems ideas to shape interventions that match each person’s situation. His areas of focus include stress, anxiety, LGBT matters, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, parenting and intimacy-related issues, as well as grief and coping with life changes. Roy aims to provide practical, empathetic support tailored to a client’s goals and preferences.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and goal oriented, often used to address anxiety, stress, low mood and difficulties with motivation or confidence.Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. It supports people and couples who are working through attachment concerns, intimacy-related issues and communication problems by helping them express and respond to emotions more effectively.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Roy works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. He tailors methods and pacing so that clients feel involved in planning their care.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and options such as live chat or text messaging allow ongoing contact between appointments. This range of formats makes it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel, and to maintain continuity through life changes while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
