I aim to support you as we work through the many obstacles that life may place in front of you so that you can reach your goals while developing and enhancing skills to navigate life.

You deserve to feel excited about life, to like who you are, and to feel more than just stress and worry!

Well, I want to provide you with a space that allows you to control the volume, while I help guide you and support you through the process. I want you to reach your goals, overcome emotional suffering, and develop the skills you need to feel empowered as you navigate this complex thing, we call life.

Emotionally Focused Counsellors
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach to therapy that helps clients identify their emotions, learn to explore and experience them, to understand them and then to manage them. St John's Emotionally Focused Therapy embraces the idea that emotions can be changed, first by arriving at or 'living' the maladaptive emotion (e.g. loss, fear or shame) in session, and then learning to transform it. Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples seeks to break the negative emotion cycles within relationships, emphasizing the importance of the attachment bond between couples, and how nurturing of the attachment bonds and an empathetic understanding of each others emotions can break the cycles.
