I work with adults who feel stuck, drained or quietly overwhelmed even if life looks 'fine' on the outside. You may notice patterns like overgiving, overthinking or being hard on yourself, often shaped by earlier experiences. In our work, I help you slow things down, make sense of what's driving these patterns and develop a steadier more compassionate way of relating to yourself, so you can move forward with more clarity and ease.

I have a special interest in family systems, recognizing the importance of understanding relational dynamics in the healing process. I incorporate mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) techniques as appropriate, helping clients manage to explore how thoughts can affect feelings and behaviours, which also I find can be particularly beneficial when working with neuro divergence issues.

I use a trauma-informed approach, integrating compassion-focused, emotionally focused, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to support your healing.
Do you feel you’ve lost yourself in a controlling, emotionally abusive or unhealthy relationship? Perhaps you’re experiencing domestic abuse, coercive control or narcissistic behaviours, leaving you questioning yourself and struggling to trust your own feelings. I also work with individuals affected by addiction, whether their own or someone else’s. Therapy can help you understand what’s happening, rebuild boundaries and self-esteem, reconnect with who you are and begin making choices based on what you want and need.

My work with couples is attachment based using Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples.
Do you and your partner want to strengthen your bond but find yourselves stuck in cycles of conflict or disconnection? As humans, we are wired for connection, yet every relationship experiences rupture. Healing and repair are possible and are essential for our relationships to survive and thrive. A wide body of research shows that secure attachment in our relationships benefits both our mental and physical health. My work is attachment focused and trauma-informed to create a safe, healing space in which couples can reflect on their struggles and bring peace to their relationship.

Emotionally Focused Counsellors
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.
