EFT - Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples

EFT for Couples

Are you and your partner caught in cycles of conflict that leave you feeling disconnected? Do you find yourselves having the same arguments over and over, unable to break free from painful patterns? These relationship struggles can lead to deep loneliness and frustration, even within your partnership.

Are you experiencing any of these signs?

  • Finding yourself stuck in repetitive arguments that never get resolved?
  • Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected from your partner?
  • Struggling to communicate your needs without triggering conflict?
  • Experiencing a loss of intimacy or emotional connection?
  • Sensing that past hurts are affecting your current relationship?

These challenges can leave you feeling hopeless about your relationship’s future. With support from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), you can break free from negative cycles and rebuild a secure, loving connection with your partner.

FAQ EFT for Couples

EFT is a structured approach to couples therapy that focuses on creating secure emotional bonds between partners. It helps couples understand and change their patterns of interaction while deepening their emotional connection.

EFT uniquely focuses on emotions as the key organizers of behaviour patterns in relationships. Rather than just teaching communication skills, it helps couples understand their emotional responses and attachment needs.

Your therapist will help you and your partner identify negative interaction patterns, explore the emotions underneath these patterns, and learn to express needs and feelings in ways that create closer connection. Sessions involve both partners actively participating in the process.

EFT has shown remarkable effectiveness for couples in distress. Research indicates that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and 90% show significant improvements. Individual results may vary.

EFT for couples typically ranges from 8-20 sessions, depending on the couple’s specific needs and circumstances. Some couples may benefit from shorter or longer treatment durations.

EFT for Couples is designed for a wide range of issues such as:

  • Communication difficulties
  • Trust issues
  • Emotional disconnection
  • Conflict resolution
  • Intimacy problems
  • Recovery from affairs
  • Life transition challenges
