Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Training

EFT certification is achieved through ICEEFT, the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (click the logo above to be taken to the ICEEFT website)

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a powerful, evidence-based approach to healing relationships that speaks to the core of the couple's distress. EFT will guide you to focus your therapy sessions toward establishing a secure relationship bond. In the context of a secure relationship partners can communicate their relationship needs more effectively.

As you progress in the training offered in EFT, you as a therapist will:

  • Discover a remarkably effective road map for navigating couples through conflict deadlock
  • Learn how to harness their emotions to help them create and maintain a close relationship
  • Help your couples experience bonding emotions and find greater happiness

Note:  EFT Externships and Advanced Core Skills Training are designed for
Mental Health Professionals and Trainees. Participants are required to acknowledge their professional affiliation upon registration.
