Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach that helps partners transform negative patterns, strengthen emotional bonds, and build a more secure, connected relationship.
How Does EFT Work?
EFT begins by helping couples identify the negative patterns in their interactions and the emotions driving those behaviors. By bringing these feelings into awareness, partners can better understand each other’s needs and vulnerabilities.
Couples are then guided to express these emotions safely and respond to each other with empathy and support. Over time, this process strengthens emotional bonds, reduces conflict, and helps create a more secure and connected relationship.
Who Can Benefit from EFT?
EFT is designed to strengthen relationships and support couples who:
- Struggle with frequent conflict or communication breakdowns
- Feel emotionally disconnected or distant from each other
- Experience trust issues, jealousy, or insecurity in the relationship
- Are coping with life transitions, loss, or major stressors
- Want to deepen emotional intimacy and strengthen their bond
By helping couples recognize and reshape their emotional responses and attachment patterns, EFT helps them build greater understanding, trust, and lasting connection.
