Emotion-Focused Therapy

Emotions inform us what is important to us and what we need or want, which helps us figure out what we need to do. At their best, emotions are healthy and help us thrive and survive. However, at their worst, they can become damaging, and we might feel inferior; create anxiety about things that are not realistically going to happen; or withdraw from others making us feel isolated. Additionally, we could become very submissive or a people-pleaser. This therapy will support you in understanding your feelings and where they have originated from. Through a series of steps, I can help you transform your difficult emotions into helpful ones leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships. 

Similar to person-centred therapy, this is not about quick fixes; it’s about getting to the heart of the matter, however painful, and creating lasting change. Although emotion-focused therapy can be successfully applied to a broad range of psychological issues, it is particularly effective in supporting clients suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship problems and trauma. 

we will move to a more dynamic approach, using coaching, as you formulate your goals and create an action plan for future success.
