When life feels overwhelming or relationships become difficult, our emotions often hold the clues we need most.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a research-supported approach that helps people understand, process, and transform their emotional experiences, which can then lead to greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and deeper connection with ourself and with others.
At Portree Counselling Company, one of the therapeutic modalities used is Emotion-Focused Therapy. EFT helps clients explore emotions safely and compassionately. Instead of trying to “get rid of” painful feelings, EFT invites curiosity and acceptance - because emotions are not the problem; they are the path to understanding what we need.
In EFT, the therapist works side-by-side with you to notice, name, and understand your emotional experiences. Together, you learn to access and make healthy contact with feelings you may have avoided in the past. Over time, you develop the ability to use adaptive emotions (like healthy anger, grief, or compassion) to transform painful or maladaptive ones (like shame, fear, or hopelessness).
Emotion-Focused Therapy may for you if:
You feel overwhelmed by emotions or don't know where to start
You feel disconnected from yourself or your feelings
You seem "fine" on the outside but don't feel quite yourself
You want to deepen your self-understanding and emotional connection
