As a committed provisional psychologist, I frequently consider the qualities of my ideal client—a person courageously navigating the intricate landscape of their thoughts and emotions. This individual may be facing various challenges, including anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Their primary need is to find a safe and empathetic environment in which to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while they seek a pathway toward healing and personal development. Ultimately, my ideal client aims to achieve inner peace, build resilience, and reconnect with the joy in life.

I adapt my methods to fit your needs—whether it's CBT or ACT for anxiety, ERP for OCD, or Gottman & EFT for couples.
My practice is focused on supporting individuals & couples through life’s toughest moments—whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, identity struggles, or relationship problems. I understand these struggles often run deep, rooted in early attachments, major life changes, or the pain of grief—whether it’s for a loved one, a relationship, or even a dream that never came to be. My passion is in standing alongside those who feel marginalised—whether by race, gender, sexuality, or chronic conditions like diabetes. I believe each person’s story is uniquely their own, and I tailor my approach to honour that individuality with compassion.

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.
