EFT PHILOSOPHY
Emotionally Focused Therapy
"We adhere to the philosophy that relationships are at the core of human experience. Research indicates that secure attachment and emotionally fulfilling relationships are integral components of mental and physical health, and that emotionally focused interventions have the power to establish and recreate supportive bonds among individuals. We are therefore dedicated to the understanding of individual health and dysfunction in the context of relationship with others and the enhancement of couple and family functioning. We believe that all people can maximize their potential given a nurturing social environment, which we endeavour to foster in our work with clients."
