Emotionally Focussed Therapy (EFT) for couples and families is based on attachment theory. In particular, secure attachment, repairing emotional bonds between partners. The goal is to move partners from negative, reactive stuck cycles towards responsive emotional engagement where both partners feel heard and validated by each other. Sonia at Aveley Counselling Services specialises in Emotionally Focussed Therapy and has nine years experience in this mode.

Mindfulness practise involves staying present, being involved in your own experience as you are experiencing it right now. Not reliving the unchangeable past or dreaming about a future world. What makes it feel more powerful is that you have control over your narrative, your feelings, your motives. You get to chose your energy. Self reflection, the good and the not so good, is part of this.

"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates circa 399 b.c.

A solar eclipse is a powerful pause when the light changes and everything feels different for a moment. It can bring strong emotions and sudden clarity, which makes it a meaningful time to reset your thoughts. Affirmations help you stay grounded and focused instead of overwhelmed.

Simple statements like “I welcome new beginnings” or “I trust my next step” give your mind direction. When you speak them during an eclipse, they feel stronger and more intentional. You are choosing what you want to grow instead of reacting to change.

An eclipse symbolizes release and renewal. Using affirmations during this time helps you let go of what feels heavy and step toward what feels aligned. Clear words, spoken with belief, can turn this cosmic shift into a personal fresh start.

Peace got louder when I stopped explaining myself 😌

There comes a point where you stop proving, stop fixing, stop fighting to be understood… and you just move forward.

And baby, there is so much freedom in that.

If this feels like a season you’re in right now, you’re not alone 💛

Yesterday I was angry. Not just with someone but also myself. Anger at my impatience, my intolerance and anger at my incompetence. Instead of pushing anger away I closed my eyes and went into it. I let go of control, power and perfection and felt much easier afterwards. Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to d*ie.
