I practice Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and specialise in relationship counselling, in both private practice and within the NHS.  I'm registered with the BACP. I'm trained by the British Association of Emotionally Focused Therapy, and am a member of the International Centre of Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

If you're hurting and unhappy in your relationship, if you've hit a crisis, or are going around in repeating patterns of conflict or disconnection, do come and see me for help. We all have the human need to feel loved and securely bonded in our relationships. Emotionally Focused Therapy is a wonderful model with a clear and effective structure. It'll help you to understand what's gone wrong, and guide you in how to reach out and find one another again.

The first few sessions: 

The first session with with both of you, getting to know each other, how we will work and starting to explore what is happening in your relationship

Second and third sessions are individual sessions, one with each of you, looking at relationships throughout your life, including your current one, focusing in particular on attachment patterns.

The fourth session, and all sessions for here on, will be together again. In them we'll deepen your understanding of your unhelpful emotional reactions and unhelpful patterns, and restructure your responses so that you can create a safe and secure bond with each other.
