About Emotion Focused Psychology and Counselling
Emotion Focused Psychology and Counselling is a specialist practice offering psychological, and couples counselling and evidence-based psychotherapy services. We provide a safe, ethical, and client-centred environment for individuals seeking support through research-informed, humanistic therapeutic methods.
Our team operates from multiple convenient locations, including Malvern and Caulfield South in Melbourne. We also offer telehealth services for clients across Australia.
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy. Research indicates that emotions influence psychological, cognitive, behavioural, biological and neurochemical system functioning. Emotions connect our body and our mind. Emotions serve as a primary signalling system and these often arise outside of our awareness. Emotions also precede our language-based cognizing. Emotion-Focused Therapy has been shown to be a functional therapy that helps to recognize, research, govern, process, transform and integrate our experiences from an emotional viewpoint. This emotional processing of experience along with reflective processing provides a chance to draw out deep emotions and helps in efficacious and long-lasting transformation of troubled selves.
At the Centre for Emotion Focused Practice, the practitioners use experiential methods to assist people to confront past experiences. The psychologists and counsellors at the centre help clients to overcome or surpass the negative aspects of their life, thereby aiding them to find feelings, experiences, and behaviour that are intrinsically their own. Consequently, people who have felt bound by the expectations of their peers or family, feel liberated and find inner peace.
Our psychologists and counsellors use experiential techniques to support clients in exploring and understanding their emotional experiences. We work respectfully and collaboratively to help people access their own inner resources for healing and growth.
Clients who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or shaped by the expectations of others often find greater clarity and freedom through this process. Our goal is to help each person reconnect with what feels authentic, aligned, and emotionally true for them.
