EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY IN OTTAWA
At Ottawa Therapy Group, we offer Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals, couples, and families build stronger, healthier emotional connections. Rooted in the science of attachment, EFT focuses on identifying and transforming patterns of negative emotions that can disrupt relationships and personal well-being.
Whether you’re seeking to improve communication with a partner, heal emotional wounds, or better understand your own emotional responses, EFT offers a compassionate and effective path forward. Our experienced therapists work collaboratively with you, creating a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your emotional world, strengthen your relationships, and promote lasting emotional well-being.
WHAT IS EMOTION FOCUSED THERAPY?
At its core, emotionally focused counselling services are about transforming negative emotional cycles into positive, secure bonds. Whether you’re stuck in a loop of conflict with your partner or feel emotionally disconnected from those around you, EFT offers a proven path forward and helps you understand how emotions like fear, anger, and sadness shape your responses in relationships. Instead of just managing these emotions, EFT invites you to engage with them—learning how to shift from unhealthy patterns of reaction to deeper, more meaningful connection.
For couples, EFT is especially powerful. Emotionally focused couple therapy creates a space where both partners can feel safe enough to express their fears, needs, and vulnerabilities without judgment.
In individual therapy, EFT helps clients explore how their emotions impact their personal relationships and overall mental health. Whether you’re processing past trauma, working through anger, or healing from something as traumatic as sexual abuse, EFT offers a compassionate and structured way to heal.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY?
Emotionally focused therapy is for anyone ready to break free from the negative patterns that hold them back. Couples facing persistent conflict, lack of intimacy, or even infidelity often find deep healing in emotionally focused couple therapy. But individuals struggling with emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or past trauma also experience profound transformation through EFT. It’s particularly beneficial for those whose emotions often feel too intense to manage—whether that’s anger, sadness, or deep-seated fear.
The goal isn’t just to understand your emotions but to create a new, healthier way to relate to yourself and others. If your relationships—whether with your partner, family, or even with yourself—feel stuck, EFT can help you move forward.
