Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFCT)

Relationships can be one of life’s greatest joys—and one of its greatest challenges. If you and your partner are feeling disconnected, caught in patterns of conflict, or unsure how to deepen your relationship, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) offers a proven, effective path to more secure attachment.

EFCT is a widely respected, research-based approach to couples therapy that helps partners better understand their emotional needs and how these shape their interactions. Guided by an EFT-trained therapist, couples can work to identify negative cycles, foster deeper emotional connection, and create a more secure and fulfilling relationship.

This approach is grounded in attachment science and can be helpful for couples facing a range of challenges, including conflict, stress, or the impact of past hurts. Whether you’re seeking to rebuild trust, improve communication, or simply deepen your bond, EFCT provides a structured path toward growth and understanding.
