In couples therapy at Ayni Counselling, we utilize evidence-based approaches such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help partners strengthen their relationship and deepen their connection. EFT focuses on understanding and reshaping the emotional responses that drive relationship patterns, helping couples develop more secure and satisfying bonds. IFS, on the other hand, explores the dynamics between different parts of each partner's inner world, facilitating a deeper understanding of oneself and each other. Together, these approaches help couples communicate more effectively, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. Joss provides a supportive and non-judgmental environment where couples can explore their relationship dynamics and work towards building a healthier and more fulfilling partnership.

In group counselling, I create a safe and confidential environment for individuals to share and explore their experiences. I believe in the power of healing through group therapy, where individuals can connect with others facing similar challenges, feel a sense of belonging, and gain different perspectives. With understanding and acceptance, I work together with you to build self-awareness and inner strength. My main focus is on your well-being, and I am dedicated to providing the support you need to thrive."

At Ayni Counselling, Joss offers Individual, Couples, and Group counselling sessions using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. IFS is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as containing multiple “parts," each with its unique qualities and experiences. These parts can sometimes conflict with each other, leading to emotional struggles and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. In IFS therapy, Joss helps clients identify and understand these parts, fostering harmony and balance among them. By healing the wounded parts and promoting the leadership of a person's core Self, IFS aims to create lasting change and promote emotional healing. Joss is trained in IFS and uses this model to help clients explore their inner worlds, navigate their emotions, and achieve greater self-awareness and compassion.

In Individual sessions, clients work one-on-one with their counsellor to explore their inner worlds, identify, and heal parts of themselves, and cultivate self-compassion and understanding. Couples sessions focus on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and deepening intimacy by exploring the inner dynamics of each partner and the relationship as a whole. Group sessions provide individuals with the opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges, offering support, validation, and new perspectives in a safe and empathetic space.
