What Is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?
At the heart of every relationship is the deep need to feel seen, heard, and valued. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a compassionate, research-backed approach that helps individuals and couples move from disconnection and pain to understanding and closeness.
EFT isn’t about assigning blame or fixing one person—it’s about helping you and your partner recognize the patterns that keep you stuck and guiding you toward a more secure, loving connection. Whether you’re facing communication struggles, trust issues, or emotional wounds, EFT provides a safe space to heal and grow together.
Is EFT Right for You?
Maybe you feel like you’re having the same argument over and over, never truly resolving anything. Or perhaps you and your partner have drifted apart, feeling more like roommates than lovers. Maybe you long for deeper intimacy, but fear, past hurt, or misunderstandings keep getting in the way.
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. Relationships, like people, go through seasons of closeness and distance. EFT can help you find your way back to each other.
With EFT, you can:
❤️ Break free from painful cycles of conflict or withdrawal.
❤️ Rebuild trust after betrayal or emotional disconnection.
❤️ Feel safe expressing your true emotions without fear of being misunderstood.
❤️ Deepen intimacy and create a relationship that feels secure, loving, and fulfilling.
EFT for Couples
Love isn’t just about getting along—it’s about feeling deeply connected. But when emotional needs go unmet, couples often find themselves stuck in patterns of criticism, withdrawal, or frustration. EFT helps couples uncover the real emotions beneath their struggles so they can move toward deeper understanding, support, and closeness.
This approach is especially helpful if you’re struggling with:
✔ Frequent miscommunication or unresolved conflict
✔ Emotional distance or lack of intimacy
✔ Trust issues, including infidelity or betrayal
✔ Feeling unheard, unappreciated, or emotionally alone
Through EFT, you’ll learn how to turn toward each other instead of away, creating a foundation of love that feels safe, strong, and lasting.
EFT for Individuals
Even if you’re not in a relationship, EFT can help you understand yourself in a deeper way. If you struggle with loneliness, self-doubt, anxiety, or past wounds that keep you from feeling connected to others, EFT can guide you toward emotional healing.
Through therapy, you’ll gain insight into your emotional patterns, learn how to communicate your needs with confidence, and build stronger, healthier relationships—starting with yourself.
Why EFT Works
EFT is based on decades of research and has one of the highest success rates of any couples therapy approach:
✨ 90% of couples show significant improvement
✨ 75% of couples experience lasting relationship satisfaction
Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT is rooted in attachment science, meaning it doesn’t just focus on solving problems—it helps create a secure emotional bond between partners. And when we feel emotionally safe, everything in our relationships changes.
