Individual counselling  - Canberra

Your feelings & personal goals are important. 

Sometimes a person can feel overwhelmed with life. I provide an individualised counselling service, which will be tailored to your needs. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space, where we can explore together coping strategies to resolve difficulties. 

My main therapeutic approach is using Emotional Focussed Individual Therapy.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is a groundbreaking therapeutic model that  facilitates emotional processing and the creation of secure relationships with self and others. Originating from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, EFIT adapts these principles for individual therapy, offering a structured approach to help individuals address various challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship problems. EFIT’s unique approach empowers mental health professionals to help their clients transform restrictive emotional patterns, foster internal coherence, and build deep resilience. In other words, EFIT allows them to be fit to flourish in life and in love.
