What Is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps individuals and couples heal emotional pain, build stronger bonds, and create lasting change. Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles or working through personal challenges like trauma, anxiety, or grief, EFT focuses on your core emotional needs and the patterns that keep you stuck.

EFT is rooted in the science of attachment—our deep, wired-in need for connection, safety, and love. By helping you understand and shift the emotional responses that shape your behavior and relationships, EFT brings clarity, healing, and hope.

For Couples

Are you feeling disconnected, stuck in painful cycles, or struggling to communicate with your partner?

EFT for couples helps partners:

  • Understand and break negative communication patterns

  • Express vulnerable emotions without fear or blame

  • Rebuild trust after betrayal, trauma, or distance

  • Strengthen emotional closeness and intimacy

Instead of focusing just on problem-solving, EFT gets to the heart of the relationship—the longing to feel seen, valued, and securely connected. With gentle, structured guidance, couples learn to reach for each other in new ways, creating a bond that’s resilient and deeply satisfying.

For Individuals

Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in emotional pain—feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or afraid to trust. EFT for individuals helps you:

  • Explore the emotions behind anxiety, depression, or trauma

  • Understand how your past shapes your current patterns

  • Develop healthier emotional responses and self-compassion

  • Build stronger, more secure relationships

You don’t have to “fix yourself”—you just need space to feel, process, and understand what your emotions are telling you. EFT offers that path.
