Couples Counselling

Strengthening Bonds with
EFT and Gottman's Methods

In my approach to Couples Counselling, I uniquely combine Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with Gottman's Relationship House principles to help couples deepen their connection and understanding.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT):

This approach centers on strengthening the emotional bond between partners. It enables couples to better understand and meet each other’s emotional needs, fostering a deeper sense of connection.

Gottman's Relationship House:

This method focuses on building strong relational foundations like trust and effective communication. It equips couples with tools to navigate conflicts constructively, support each other’s aspirations, and cultivate shared meaning.

By integrating these methodologies, I aim to provide a holistic framework that addresses both the emotional and practical dynamics of relationships. This approach is designed to guide couples through conflict resolution, trust rebuilding, and enhancing their partnership's overall quality for lasting, positive change. It enables couples to turn towards and not away from one another.
