Services

Individual counselling

Currently I provide individual counselling with the possibility of group therapy when enough people express an interest.  Please see My Approach page for more details on the methods I use and my philosophy.

Couples counselling

I have completed the Level 1 training in EFTEmotion Focused Therapy for couples in addition to the couples and family counselling focus I had in my Masters degree.

Emotionally Focused Therapy was first developed at the University of British Columbia in the early 1980’s. Since then it has become widely known, and is being used successfully around the world. What makes this model so effective?  EFT is based on the now well-validated premise that the quality of our attachment relationships profoundly affects our sense of wellbeing and quality of life. When our most important relationships feel insecure, distant or in conflict, it is understandable that we become emotionally distressed.  We may develop coping strategies that actually further undermine our happiness, leading to a sense of “stuckness”.

EFT can help you as a couple work through these distressing emotions so you can connect with what you really feel and need. From here, I will support you in creating a healthier, more secure relationship and feeling more effective and satisfied in your personal life.
