ONLINE EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY (EFT) ACROSS ONTARIO
Support when emotions feel overwhelming or hard to make sense of
When emotions feel like too much - or not there at all
You may feel caught between emotional extremes - feeling everything all at once, or shutting down and feeling nothing at all. When emotions swing or go numb, it’s easy to feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in a familiar cycle:
Feeling flooded by emotion
Shutting down or numbing out to cope
Then judging yourself for it afterward
This isn’t a failure. It’s a sign your emotions need support, not suppression.
how i can help:
Therapy here focuses on turning emotions into readable signals - so they make sense and feel easier to work with.
Together, we:
Identify and name emotions as they show up
Understand what they’re trying to tell you
Practice expressing them safely, without spirals or shutdown
This work helps you build real emotional skill - not by controlling emotions, but by understanding and responding to them with clarity and compassion.
Over time, emotions feel less overwhelming and more manageable. You can say what you mean, stay present, and relate to yourself with less self-doubt and more steadiness.
You deserve a relationship with your emotions that isn’t ruled by overwhelm, shutdown, or self-criticism.
imagine if you could…
Understand your emotions instead of feeling controlled by them.
Rather than being overwhelmed or ashamed of how you feel, emotions start to make sense. Therapy helps you understand what your feelings are trying to tell you, so you can respond with more calm, clarity, and confidence.
Trust yourself more.
Instead of spiraling into doubt, you’re able to pause, feel, and decide with more trust in yourself. Together, we explore what’s underneath the worry and build steadiness from the inside out.
Feel connected and understood.
You don’t have to explain or defend your feelings. As we slow things down, emotions are met with care - helping you feel seen, accepted, and more connected to yourself and the people who matter most.
Let’s make therapy simple.

See change
As you practice new ways of understanding and responding, you’ll begin to notice more calm, clarity, and connection in your daily life and relationships. Real change grows from gentle, consistent steps.
Learning the Language of Emotion
Many people struggle with emotions not because they’re doing something wrong, but because they don’t yet have language for what’s happening inside.
In moments of stress or overwhelm, emotions can show up as anxiety, shutdown, irritability, or feeling disconnected from yourself. What’s underneath often goes unnamed - and when it goes unnamed, it goes unsupported.
Therapy offers a space to slow things down and find words for your emotional experience - not to analyze it, but to understand it and feel it with more safety.
Why Words Matter in Therapy
When you can name what’s happening beneath the reaction:
emotions feel less overwhelming
patterns become easier to recognize
regulation and choice become possible
This work isn’t about handling your emotions better or pushing through them.
It’s about learning the language of emotion so your feelings become information you can respond to - rather than something you have to avoid, suppress, or fight.
I want you to know:
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
With support, emotions can begin to make sense - and feel easier to work with over time.
