How I Approach Individual 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 Individual Therapy (EFIT) is based on attachment science and focuses on helping you grow greater emotional awareness and strength—what we call emotional fitness. EFIT supports you in understanding and working through internal challenges so you can feel more balanced, connected, and empowered in your life and relationships.
Why I Work This Way
Many people have already tried:
- Thinking their way through problems
- Reading books
- Listening to podcasts
- Pushing feelings aside
- Trying to stay positive
Yet they still feel stuck.
Often the problem isn't a lack of insight. It's that emotional wounds, relationship patterns, and protective strategies continue operating beneath awareness.
My work helps you understand these patterns, experience emotions safely, and create deeper change from the inside out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Counselling
Please reach me at dan@dancoburncounselling.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Individual counselling can be helpful when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to move forward. You don't need to be in crisis to seek therapy. Many people come to counselling to better understand themselves, work through challenges, improve relationships, and create meaningful change in their lives.
I support individuals experiencing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, shame, low self-esteem, anger, relationship difficulties, loneliness, life transitions, and questions around meaning and purpose.
Many of the struggles we experience are connected to our relationships, our past experiences, and the ways we have learned to cope.
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and understand what brings you to counselling. We will explore your concerns, your goals, and what you hope to gain from therapy.
Together, we will begin identifying patterns that may be keeping you stuck and move forward at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
No. Many people begin therapy because they know something feels off but aren't sure why. Counselling can help you slow down, explore what is happening beneath the surface, and develop a clearer understanding of yourself and your needs.
The length of therapy depends on your goals, the challenges you are working through, and what you hope to achieve. Some people seek counselling for support with a specific challenge, while others choose longer-term therapy for deeper personal growth and healing.
Many extended health benefit plans cover counselling or psychotherapy provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW). Coverage varies depending on your plan, so it is best to check with your insurance provider.
