Welcome to LivelyFuture Family Therapy
At LivelyFuture, we believe every family has a story — full of love, challenges, hopes, and sometimes pain. Families are living, changing systems. When connection is strong, families thrive. But when life brings loss, stress, conflict, or change, those bonds can feel fragile.
We are here to walk with you. As certified Emotionally Focused Family Therapists (EFFT), we help families restore emotional closeness, heal hurts, and build stronger connections — with each other and, if you wish, with God at the centre.

Family Counselling:
Creating Deeper Connection
When families feel securely connected, they experience safety, trust, and harmony that nurture relationships. But life’s challenges can bring disconnection:
Recurring conflicts or constant tension
Communication breakdowns or emotional distance
Guilt, grief, or loss weighing heavily on family life
Parenting stress or feeling overwhelmed as a single parent
Changes like moving, illness, or separation disrupting stability
Family Counselling with EFFT helps families slow down, talk openly, and listen differently.
Together, we uncover the emotions and needs beneath behaviours and arguments, so you can build a more secure, supportive, and loving family environment.
If You Are Feeling...
Do you or a family member feel:
These emotions can affect daily life, relationships, and your overall well-being. They can leave you or your family feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unsure where to turn for help.
If this is how you or someone in your family is feeling, please read further. Therapy can offer a path to clarity, healing, and connection.
Who I Work With
I provide specialized support for:
Christian Family Counselling:
Faith and Emotional Healing
For families who want faith and therapy to work hand in hand, we offer Christian Family Counselling. Here, emotional healing and spiritual hope come together.
Some families ask for prayer during sessions or want to bring Scripture and faith into the process. Others simply want therapy grounded in values of compassion, forgiveness, and grace.
We respect where you are in your faith journey and invite you to include prayer or spiritual reflection in the way that feels right for you.
One family told us after including prayer in counselling: “Faith gave us strength. Therapy gave us tools to connect again.”
How I Work with Families
Family therapy at LivelyFuture focuses on fostering understanding, strengthening communication, and addressing the emotional needs of all family members. In our sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone feels heard and respected.
Through evidence-based techniques and a compassionate approach, I help families:
Single Parent Family Counselling – Strength and Connection
Being a single parent means carrying so much alone: parenting, providing, making decisions, and trying to stay strong for your children. Many single parents come to us feeling exhausted, guilty, or worried they’re not enough.
With EFFT, we help single parents and children:
Share emotions safely instead of through arguments or silence
Build stronger parent-child bonds rooted in trust and love
Break cycles of guilt, fear, or misunderstanding
Find spiritual comfort if faith is important to your family
Supporting Emotional Resilience: Guiding parents and children through feelings of loneliness, stress, or grief that may arise from family transitions or loss.
Improving Communication: Equipping families with tools to express their needs and emotions effectively, reducing misunderstandings and conflicts.
Building Support Networks: Identifying ways to create or strengthen external support systems, such as extended family, friends, or community resources.
Christian Single Parenting Counselling:
Faith as a Source of Strength
Single parenting can feel lonely. Christian Single Parenting Counselling combines EFFT with faith-based support so you don’t carry it all alone.
We explore your emotions, your child’s needs, and where faith can bring hope and healing. Prayer often becomes a bridge — connecting you with God while therapy reconnects you with your children.
How I Am Different as an EFT Family Therapist
As a certified Emotionally Focused Family Therapist, my approach is uniquely centered on addressing the emotional bonds within the family. Unlike traditional family therapy methods that may focus primarily on behavioral changes or problem-solving strategies, EFFT delves into the emotional dynamics and attachment patterns that influence interactions and relationships.
Here’s what sets my approach apart:
Family Therapy for Neurodiverse Children:
Understanding and Support
Families with children who have ADHD, Autism, or other neurodiverse needs often face unique challenges: school stress, daily routines, sibling tensions, or emotional meltdowns.
Through EFFT, we help families:
See behaviours as signals of emotions or needs, not just problems
Build emotional safety for every family member
Reduce conflict and guilt by creating understanding
Strengthen family bonds so everyone feels supported
Some families choose to include prayer for wisdom and patience along the way. Therapy and faith can work together to create hope, healing, and practical strategies for daily life.
Supporting Families in Challenging Situations
Each family’s journey is unique. Whether you’re navigating the daily realities of raising a neurodivergent child, coping with grief, or adapting to a new country, our work together is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. I help you uncover strengths and resources within your family, while also addressing areas that need healing or growth.
Family Therapy for Grief and Crisis – Healing Together
Loss, illness, divorce, or other crises can shake a family deeply. Everyone grieves differently. Silence, anger, or distance often grow where connection is most needed.
Family therapy offers space to:
Share pain openly and safely
Support each other through sadness, anger, or fear
Create new ways to talk, remember, and heal together
Integrate faith and prayer for families who want spiritual comfort
One family shared after counselling: “Faith gave us strength. Therapy gave us a way to hold each other through the pain.”
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) – Why We Use It
EFFT is at the heart of everything we do. It is a research-based approach that focuses on emotions and attachment bonds — the glue holding families together.
Instead of just fixing behaviours, EFFT helps families:
See what’s beneath the conflict: hurt, fear, or longing for connection
Heal old wounds that block closeness
Create emotional safety so everyone can share honestly
Build stronger bonds that last beyond counselling
Faith and EFFT often work beautifully together: prayer offers hope; EFFT offers tools for emotional healing.
