About EFT
Emotionally Focused Therapy, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, is a therapy modality based on the attachment, systemic and humanistic theories of John Bowlby, Salvador Minuchin and Carl Rodgers respectively. EFT offers individuals, couples and families a roadmap to adult love and the means to make adult relationships flourish.
EFT is the most rigorously researched modality of couples therapy. Published research studies empirically prove EFT to be the most effective of all the couples therapies and the modality with the longest lasting results. Ninety percent of distressed couples undergoing EFT therapy report dramatic improvement in the overall satisfaction in their relationship. More than 7 out of 10 couples report complete recovery from distress.
​
EFT shows couples how to create the kind of love they always wanted and dreamed of having.
​
EFT can be successfully applied to individuals, couples and families.
