I have found Emotionally Focused Therapy is a valuable resource giving insight into the attachment hurts which are often the root cause for negative relational cycles in which we find ourselves trapped. The framework allows me to work as a 'relationship dynamic consultant' helping a couple discover what is happening within and between themselves.

In my own marriage I have found EFT very helpful in giving new understanding and experiential learning to change our behaviors. We had been married 15 years when we were first exposed to EFT counselling and we are now heading toward our 34th anniversary.

As a counsellor a work with individuals and couples, offering a healing space to work through emotional pain and trauma. One of my focus points is standing with folk suffering Betrayal Trauma through discovered infidelity and porn use.

Among other things, I am a Christian, a wife, a mother of four, a Zimbabwean immigrant, a cancer survivor and a 'Coastie' living on the Hibiscus Coast. I count it a blessing to be able to walk alongside offering hope to folk as they wrestle with difficult situations and seasons in their life.
