Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples
If you're feeling alone, unseen, or frustrated in your relationship, you're in the right place.
Our relationships are meaningful and challenging in their own unique way. Most couples will find themselves stuck in unhelpful and often painful patterns and it can be hard to break out. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT or EFCT) can help you identify and change the unhelpful patterns in your relationship, to smooth the way for connection, attunement, and deeper love.
Common areas of focus in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT):​
-
Identifying common, painful communication patterns and conflict cycles in the relationship
-
Gaining a deeper, more profound understanding of yourself and you partner
-
Growing and nourishing emotional intimacy and connection with your partner
​
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy offers a unique and compassionate approach to couples therapy. EFT is rooted in attachment theory and supported by strong research evidence. Studies have shown that it helps 70%–73% of couples significantly reduce relationship distress, providing hope and effective support for those seeking to strengthen their emotional connection.
Sex Therapy
Physical and sexual intimacy can change over the lifespan of a person, and over the lifespan of a relationship. Many of us hold misconceptions about intimacy that get in the way of being flexible enough to meet challenges associated with change. Many of us have a fraught relationship with sex, sometimes due to painful past experiences. Having a non-judgmental, sex-positive space to work through challenges with sexual intimacy can help move you towards sexual connection.
