About Roy
Roy Ka Yiu Lam is a Registered Counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has eight years working directly in counselling settings, plus decades of experience in human resources that inform his practical approach. He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, LGBT-related issues, self-esteem and career questions.
Roy trained with a Master in Social Sciences (Counselling) from the University of Hong Kong. He volunteered as a counsellor in Hong Kong and moved to the United Kingdom in 2021. This background has led him to work with a wide range of personal and workplace challenges, including hearing-impairment and immigration-related concerns.
In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside ideas from Bowen family systems. That means conversations look at patterns of thought and feeling, and how family or relationship dynamics affect stress and decision-making.
Practical, short-term options and talking through recurring problems are part of his routine. He can help people who are coping with grief, anger, commitment worries, blended family issues, or changes in career or parenting roles.
Sessions are offered in English and Cantonese, and he works with international clients. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to set goals and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Roy uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and attachment patterns. It helps people understand emotional responses and improve how they relate to others, which can be useful for relationship and family concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and review progress together. If something does not fit, the approach can be adjusted based on your needs and preferences.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life, make short check-ins possible, and reduce travel time. It also allows people in different locations to connect with registered or accredited professionals. Confirm which session formats are available when you arrange your first appointment.
