Want to improve communication in your relationship?
Many couples identify communication as a significant challenge they wish to enhance. However, it is seldom the spoken words or vocabulary that hinder effective communication; rather, it is often the inability of the ears and heart to fully receive the messages being shared by one another. Relationships typically begin with a profound yearning for connection and understanding, yet they can frequently evolve into experiences that highlight our differences and emotional distance from our partners.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy, drawing primarily from attachment theory to facilitate the creation of secure, vibrant connection with self and others. Rooted in the science of emotions and attachment, EFT helps clients identify and transform the negative processing and interaction patterns that create distress. It’s effective in treating individuals (EFIT), couples (EFCT), and families (EFFT), addressing a wide range of issues from marital distress to individual anxiety and trauma.
For therapists, EFT offers a clear, structured path to helping clients. It focuses on the development of emotional intelligence and awareness, enabling therapists to guide clients in recognizing and expressing their emotional needs more effectively. By fostering a secure attachment bond, EFT enables clients to respond to their partners and family members in healthier, more constructive ways.
