The Treatment Approach.
-
Attachment-Based Psychotherapy
This approach explores how early relationships shaped your sense of safety, trust, and connection. We work together to notice how those past patterns might still be playing out today—especially in how you relate to yourself and others. Through a secure, supportive therapeutic relationship, we begin to repair old wounds and foster new ways of connecting.

Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR helps the brain process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences that may feel stuck. While you briefly bring a memory to mind, I guide you through side-to-side eye movements, tapping, or sounds. This bilateral stimulation supports your brain in reprocessing the memory so it no longer carries the same emotional intensity, allowing for relief and new perspective.
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is based on the idea that we all have different “parts” within us—some that try to protect us, and others that carry pain. In therapy, we identify and gently connect with these parts, helping you understand their roles and build trust with them. The goal is to access your inner “Self”—a calm, compassionate presence that can lead healing from within.
-
Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps couples understand the deeper emotional patterns that keep them feeling disconnected or stuck. Together, we slow down conflict to uncover the emotions and attachment needs underneath. By creating a safe space to express those needs and respond differently, couples can rebuild trust, strengthen their bond, and feel more securely connected.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns or beliefs that may be contributing to distress and work on reshaping them. Through practical strategies and reflection, CBT supports you in building healthier habits, managing emotions, and responding to challenges in more empowering ways.
