    Additional Information

    Specialities

    Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) stands out as a leading approach in the field of couples therapy. Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT is grounded in the science of adult attachment and the ways in which relationships impact our mental and emotional well-being. Here’s why EFT is often considered superior to other methods:

    Attachment Theory Foundation: EFT is based on attachment theory, which emphasizes the importance of secure, loving bonds in human relationships. This focus on emotional connection provides a deep understanding of relational dynamics and helps couples rebuild trust and intimacy.

    Structured and Systematic: EFT follows a clear, structured approach that guides couples through nine steps and three stages of therapy. This systematic method ensures that progress is measurable and consistent, making it easier for couples to track their improvements.

    Empirical Validation: Extensive research supports the efficacy of EFT. Studies show that it has a success rate of 70-75% in moving couples from distress to recovery, with 90% of couples reporting significant improvements. These outcomes are often more favorable compared to other therapeutic approaches.

    Focus on Emotions: Unlike therapies that may concentrate on behavior modification or cognitive restructuring alone, EFT delves into the emotional experiences of each partner. By addressing the emotions underlying conflicts, EFT facilitates deeper, more meaningful changes.

    Long-Term Benefits: The skills and insights gained from EFT are not just quick fixes but tools for lasting change. Couples who undergo EFT often report sustained improvements in their relationship satisfaction long after therapy has ended.

    Universal Applicability: EFT has been successfully applied to a diverse range of couples, including those from different cultural backgrounds, same-sex couples, and couples dealing with chronic illness, trauma, or infidelity. Its adaptability makes it a versatile choice for many different relationship challenges.

    By choosing EFT, you are investing in a therapy that goes beyond surface issues to transform the foundational aspects of your relationship. This approach not only heals but also strengthens the emotional bonds that are crucial for a loving, supportive partnership.
