Couples Therapy
Couples and families in distress can benefit from EFT and learn to improve their relationships. Often, clients are dealing with anger, fear, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in their relationship. In addition to helping the distressed relationship, EFT can also help reduce individual symptoms of depression or trauma.
How It Works
EFT therapy focuses on the present time to make changes in the here and now. There are three steps, or stages, of EFT therapy. The first is to de-escalate the couple’s or family member’s negative cycle of interactions and help them see and understand what is happening in their relationship. Clients come to see that the problems lie in insecurities and distance. The next stage is to restructure interactions, wherein the therapist helps clients discuss their fears in the relationship, using language that doesn’t push the other away. Clients learn to turn toward each other and discuss their needs, and they become more open and responsive to each other. Consolidation is the third stage of EFT therapy, wherein the therapist helps clients see how they got into negative patterns and points out how they could change those patterns and continue these types of conversations in the future.
What to Expect
You may discover deeper past feelings and vulnerabilities that are blocked by the more immediate emotions you display in your current relationship.
You will learn to express these emotions in a way that helps you connect rather than disconnect with your partner or family member.
You will learn new ways to listen, stay attuned to another’s emotions, and discover more productive ways to respond to emotional situations.

What a past client had to say...
Ciara Thank you for guiding us through a challenging time in our relationship. It was a tough process but the outcome was a richer understanding of our interactions with one another. Through the sessions, there was a softening towards each another and a sense of feeling seen and met by the other. Thank you for helping us on our journey. We are busy implementing the tools we have learned from the sessions.'
