COUPLES and FAMILY THERAPY

I am an ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. I have extensive experience of relationship counselling privately and within the NHS. 

I have been employed full time as a counsellor for over 18 years and worked with couples for 15 years.  I have previous training in general nursing.

There are many different kinds of relationship counselling that have varying degrees of success; but one stands out: Emotionally Focused Therapy. 

I work with couples and families exclusively using Emotionally Focused Therapy.  The effectiveness of this model has been proven via 30 years of research. This makes it the gold standard for relationship therapy.   I find EFT to be very effective because it addresses our human longing to be attached with our loved one, with a safe and secure bond. 

I am on the leadership team of the British Emotionally Focused Therapy Centre and am a Certified Couples Therapist with the International Centre of Excellence for Emotionally Focused Therapy.

My counselling model is called Emotionally Focused Couples and Family Therapy.

EFT is a collaborative, structured approach of working with couples that fosters the creation of secure relationship bonds. It is an affirming, caring, supportive way to get out of the “stuck places” we all get into. 

The first few sessions with couples:

The first session is with both of you, getting to know each other, how we will work, and starting to explore what is happening in your relationship, particularly focusing on your repeating "dance".

Second and third sessions are for you individually. We'll be looking at your relationships and attachment history throughout your life.

The fourth session is with you both together again.

On rare occasions we won’t continue working together after the fourth session. Normally this is because couples' therapy isn't the right kind of support for you at this time.

Generally after the fourth session I will continue to meet with both of you together for the duration of the therapy.
