Have You Been Feeling Stuck?
Like you're having the same argument over and over again
Conversations quickly turn into fights
Constantly stuck in disconnection
Feeling unheard, misunderstood, or alone
Growing resentment that won't go away
Feeling like what you're doing is never enough
Exhausted from the same negative cycles
Hoping to Create Real Change?
Feeling deeply connected and supported
Experiencing more emotional safety and security
Listening with greater empathy and understanding
Feeling valued, appreciated, and loved
Restoring trust after hurt or betrayal
Communicating with greater openness and honesty
Creating a stronger future together
How I Approach Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a core approach in my counselling work. It is an evidence-based approach that is used to help couples, families, and individuals.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is a type of therapy based on attachment science. It helps couples understand and change negative patterns in their relationship so they can build stronger, closer relationship bonds.
EFCT supports couples through three main stages:
- Stage 1: Understanding the Cycle
You and your partner will learn to recognize and de-escalate the negative patterns that cause conflict and emotional distance.
- Stage 2: Building Connection
You'll explore your deeper struggles and needs together, and learn how to share them in a way that helps you feel more emotionally connected and secure with each other.
- Stage 3: Strengthening the Relationship
In this stage, you'll work on finding new ways to solve problems, build trust, and maintain healthy patterns of closeness and support.
EFCT starts with an assessment phase, which includes an initial session with both partners together, followed by one individual session with each partner.
Couples counselling can help with:
- Improving communication
- Resolving conflict
- Increasing emotional understanding and empathy
- Healing relationship injuries
- Recovery from infidelity
- Strengthening relationship bonds
- Deepening trust, intimacy, and connection
- Enhancing a sense of safety and security in the relationship
