Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy
What Is EFIT?
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is a type of therapy that helps you understand and heal your emotional world, so that you can feel more secure, connected, and confident with yourself and others.
EFIT is based on the idea that emotions are not problems to be fixed or ignored, but messages that help us construct and understand our experiences and what we need, especially in relationships or when we’re struggling. Emotion motivates us and helps guide our actions, serving as a compass in life. When we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, it’s often because of emotional wounds or unmet needs that we may not fully be aware of or understand yet.
How EFIT Helps
Using EFIT, your therapist will help you:
• Make sense of your emotions instead of pushing them away or feeling controlled by them.
• Discover the patterns in your relationships with others, and with yourself, that might be keeping you stuck.
• Understand your attachment needs and how past experiences may be impacting you in the present.
• Create new experiences of emotional safety and self-worth, which leads to healing and positive change.
What You Can Expect
• A supportive space where your feelings are welcomed and honoured, not judged.
• A focus on your inner emotional experience and the deeper needs underneath.
• Tools to help you build a stronger, kinder relationship with yourself.
• Growth in your ability to connect with others, set boundaries, and feel more secure.
Why It Works
EFIT is based on decades of attachment research on how humans thrive in connection. It helps you heal old emotional injuries and build a stronger sense of self by working through emotions, not around them.
If you’re ready to start healing, I offer emotionally focused therapy for individuals and couples, and I’d be honoured to walk with you on that journey. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or simply want to feel more connected to yourself, EFIT can help you get there.
