Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

Everyone needs support every once in a while. Whether it’s dealing with something personal or navigating the ins and outs of a relationship, support is out there, and having the right support can make the difference between staying stuck in old patterns or finally moving toward something healthier. 


At My Growth Counselling, we offer both Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy through a flexible mix of in-person and online sessions, so support can meet you where life actually happens. Our work is grounded in emotionally focused therapy or EFT therapy, an approach that prioritizes emotional safety, connection, and understanding as the foundation for meaningful change rather than surface-level fixes. Guided by Sherriden Brown, Registered Psychotherapist, Canadian Certified Counsellor, and Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, each session is held with steady presence, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for the emotional complexity people carry into therapy.

Why Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy?

Most approaches to emotional struggles focus on managing symptoms like calming thoughts, adjusting behaviours, or learning communication tools. Helpful but often incomplete. Emotionally focused therapy (EFT therapy) works differently. Instead of asking how to fix disagreements or issues between partners, EFT therapy focuses on what’s beneath the frustration. 


With emotionally focused couples therapy, we help you and your partner begin to understand reactions not as the problem itself, but as signals pointing toward deeper emotional needs, like the need to feel safe, valued, etc. As a highly-effective form of marriage counselling, many couples experience real shifts in just 8-20 sessions. Our Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy supports:

  • Stronger emotional awareness
  • Reduced reactivity during conflict
  • Increased emotional responsiveness
  • Deeper sense of trust and security
