Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

What it is

EFT sees distressed couples as stuck in a negative cycle — often pursue-withdraw — driven by attachment needs neither can voice. Therapy makes the cycle the enemy (not each other) and rebuilds secure emotional connection.

What a session feels like

Emotionally real. The counsellor slows fights down frame by frame until the softer feelings underneath get heard — often for the first time in years.

Often used for

Approaches are tools, not boxes — most counsellors blend methods around you, and the intro consultation takes care of finding the blend that fits.
