Emotionally Focussed Therapy for couples (EFTC) offers you a way to explore your relationship and understand the emotions and unmet needs that lie beneath your difficulties. EFTC helps you to work with your partner to build a stronger emotional connection. The approach is based on the principles of adult attachment theory. This is founded on the idea that feeling safe and secure in adulthood is based on how you attached to your main caregivers in your childhood.
EFTC emphasises the importance of feeling that your partner is available, responsive and emotionally engaged. The EFTC therapist aims to create a safe and secure space where you can share openly, listen to one another and offer comfort as you work through difficult or traumatic experiences together.
Imagine feeling more understood and connected. Being able to find ways to address and resolve conflict. Build a deeper understanding of each other. Communicate more openly and listen to each other. Being able to navigate difficult experiences, including loss, grief, infidelity or fertility struggles, divorce or separation, blended families, secrets and dysfunction. Being able to work through past wounds and find a way forward. Understand each other and work through differences in attachment styles.
Are you ready to move away from unhelpful relationship dynamics and old patterns, strengthen your relationship and emotional bond, and explore a different way forward? Get in touch to discuss whether EFTC could be right for you and your partner.
