In her academic journey, Janet has had the chance to explore a variety of therapeutic approaches, but her heart has always been drawn to Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). It was a special moment during a couples’ therapy session that really struck a chord with her, seeing firsthand how EFT could create lasting change. This experience ignited a passion in her, driving her commitment to learning and practicing EFT as a way to empower and support her future clients in their quest to emotional and mental well-being.
