About Roy
Roy Ka Yiu Lam is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He holds a BACP credential and has eight years of counselling experience alongside a long career in human resources. He speaks English and Cantonese and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression.
Roy uses practical, talk-based sessions that aim to make emotional concerns easier to manage. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and emotions.
Background and approach
He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to address patterns in relationships and attachment. Before moving to the UK in 2021, Roy completed a Master in Social Sciences (Counselling) at the University of Hong Kong in 2017 and volunteered as a counsellor in Hong Kong. That background informs his work with career difficulties, family problems and issues linked to identity and sexuality.
Clients can expect a conversational style that looks at current problems and what to do differently. Roy pays attention to communication, commitment concerns and how family history can affect present choices. He also supports people facing grief, addiction concerns and life transitions.
Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients are accepted and appointments are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Roy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at relationship patterns and attachment needs. EFT-informed work helps people understand emotional responses in close relationships and try new ways of connecting or expressing needs.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Roy will work collaboratively to decide which method or combination suits each person's goals and preferences. That discussion usually happens in early sessions and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options aim to make counselling flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
