Emotionally Focused Therapists in Lumsden, SK
In this space, mistakes are expected, met with curiosity rather than judgment, and are part of learning and growth. Because let's be real, the current climate of the 21st century is complex, ever-changing, anxiety-ridden, and honestly… chaotic. To survive, counsellors need a place where they can be themselves, feel confident, reflect, and feel supported in their emotionally demanding role as a professional. The purpose of supervision is to gain confidence and competency in your practice. I primarily work with Social Workers and Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCC’s) in private practice settings.

Accepting NEW Clients! Like a lot of men, you might not think counselling is for you. You don't want long talks about your feelings. It's too touchy-feely, and you doubt it would actually solve anything.
You've spent your whole life being told to "suck it up" or "be a man." So that is what you have been doing, trying to handle it on your own.
But you keep having blow-ups, or you feel on edge most of the time. At home you might feel like you're just going through the motions. Your partner keeps telling you, "you should see someone."
For 25 years, I've worked with men exactly like you. A lot of counselling just isn't built for men.

As a Christian counsellor, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover their true selves. Pressures, demands, expectations, trauma, disappointments, and tasks push in from all sides and assault our minds and schedules. Do this, be there, finish that, call them. Everyone seems to want something from us when we ourselves are going through struggles that can feel unseen and unheard. Such pressures can lead to exhaustion and disconnection, creating a deep need for a space to pause, reflect, and be understood.

Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.
Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.
What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.
What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
