“A practical way to work with emotions in real time”
The Emotioncubes system is designed to bring clarity, structure, and depth to therapeutic work.
The Emotioncubes system
Emotioncubes use the Six Elements of Emotion framework to help clients identify, understand, and resolve their emotions. The six elements are:
- Words
- Events
- Thoughts
- Urges
- Body Sensations
- Choices
Emotioncubes help clients make sense of their emotional experience by exploring what they are feeling, what it means, and how it is influencing their thoughts, urges, and choices. As their emotional experience becomes clearer, clients are better able to decide how they want to respond.
Together, therapists and clients can move beyond repetitive conversations and towards a deeper understanding of the emotions that are keeping the client stuck.
Emotioncubes don’t replace therapeutic skills – they strengthen them.
HOW IT WORKS
1. The Thinking
Emotional work often relies on conversation and reflection. While valuable, it can become circular or lose direction.
This approach introduces structure, creating clarity, focus, and a shared point of reference in the session.
It supports both depth and forward movement, helping the work progress rather than repeat.
2. Why Structure Matters
Structure brings stability to emotional exploration.
It helps patients feel contained, supports clinicians in maintaining direction, and keeps sessions moving with clarity.
Rather than limiting the work, it creates the conditions for deeper and more effective engagement.
3. Where It Fits
The system is designed to integrate into existing clinical practice.
It can be used in one-to-one work, group settings, and training environments without disrupting the clinician’s approach.
It provides a consistent framework that supports clarity, continuity, and depth in the work.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
This system shifts the focus from just talking about emotions
to working with them in a structured, observable way.
The result is work that is:
- clearer
- more contained
- resolution-focused
- more effective in both the short and long term
In practice
The Emotioncubes system creates a shared point of reference between clinician and client, helping the work remain focused without becoming rigid.
Rather than directing the process, it supports exploration – allowing emotional material to unfold in a tailored, contained, and observable way.
This creates a deeper understanding of what led to the issue, clarifies its meaning, and paves the way for an effective response.
