Emotionally Focused Therapists in London, ON

Imagine you have a cup that is full to the brim. You walk through life making sure the cup never spills, and you are so focused on keeping the cup steady that you don’t notice things going on around you. You don't react in big ways because it will tip the cup over. Suddenly, one final drop makes the whole cup overflow. You wonder - "What's wrong with me? I have been managing to hold on to this cup all this time and now everything is everywhere and outside of my control." Now, if the cup was actually half empty, one extra drop wouldn't make a big difference. Are you ready to start emptying your cup?

I hope to create a warm, trusting space to assist you in your healing process. I work with children, youth, and adults. It is important as an adult to recognize what we carry with us from childhood and the impact past events have on us. In working with my young clients, I ensure to provide them space to feel safe to express their emotions. It is evident that the meaning behind a child’s behaviors are often rooted in trauma, attachment difficulties and understanding their own identity. Specific to kids, play therapy can allow the expression and development to understand and navigate their core emotions hiding behind the behavior.

Maybe you are seeing your teen shrink away from life in ways that seem totally out of character. Somehow your own life - your own family, your own children, your own choices - can feel like a mystery.
