How Dominic uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Dominic combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people who struggle with strong or confusing emotions. EFT focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and how these shape important relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships influence current patterns and closeness.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Dominic works with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. He will discuss options in early sessions and adapt the mix of approaches as the work progresses, so clients have a role in shaping the therapy.
