How EFT works

EFT was developed by Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. Les Greenberg, and is one of the most studied approaches to couples therapy. Instead of focusing on who’s right, EFT looks at the pattern between you, like one partner pushing for connection while the other pulls away. Your counsellor helps you each notice the feelings underneath, so you can reach for each other in a new way.

Ways EFT is used

EFT for couples

Helps partners understand the cycle they get caught in, and build a safer, closer bond.
