CBT and EFT in Remote Practice
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them. It is commonly used to address concerns such as anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching skills for managing reactions and building coping routines.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasises understanding and working with emotions to improve relationships and emotional regulation. EFT can help people explore attachment patterns, deepen emotional awareness, and repair communication in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Roy works collaboratively with each person, discussing goals and preferences to determine whether CBT, EFT, or a blended approach best fits their needs. This collaborative planning helps ensure the therapy aligns with the client's priorities and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with registered professionals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice contact, and live chat or text messaging can be helpful for people who favour written communication. These options support accessibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
