Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is an evidence-based approach that helps couples strengthen their emotional connection and create more secure, satisfying relationships. Rather than focusing only on solving individual problems or teaching communication skills, EFCT helps partners understand the deeper emotions and unmet attachment needs that often drive conflict.

Many couples find themselves caught in repetitive patterns of arguing, withdrawing, or feeling misunderstood. These negative cycles can leave both partners feeling lonely, disconnected, and frustrated. In EFCT, we work together to identify these patterns, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and develop new ways of responding to one another with greater openness, empathy, and emotional safety.
