Working with EFT and attachment work online
Helen uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify, name and work with emotions that drive relationship patterns. EFT focuses on how feelings shape interactions and aims to change repeating cycles that cause distress.She also uses attachment-based approaches which look at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and reactions. Attachment work can help when people struggle with trust, avoidance or intense fear of rejection.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Helen will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This collaborative process helps shape whether the work concentrates on immediate problems, underlying attachment patterns, or both.
The biography states she now offers online counselling. Confirm the precise session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also means sessions can continue when attending in person would be difficult, while the therapist and client focus on the same therapeutic tasks they would cover face to face.
