I am loving working with my therapist, Vanessa, from Thriveworks! She has such helpful insights and strategies for the challenges I face. She has such patience, as I try to learn and apply new concepts she shows me. She shows me ways of looking at past events in my life in a whole new way.

What is emotionally focused therapy (EFT)?
EFT can be used in a variety of settings, although it is most commonly used for couples. EFT helps both partners to understand and reshape the emotional responses and interactions that occur in different situations in their relationship. Overall, this couples-oriented therapy aims to improve satisfaction and strengthen emotional bonds for partners, married or not.
How does EFT work?
EFT helps couples identify and address patterns of interaction that contribute to conflict and disconnection. It focuses on fostering secure attachment bonds by promoting emotional responsiveness, validation, and empathy within the relationship.
What issues can EFT address?
EFT is effective in treating a wide range of relationship issues, including communication difficulties, unresolved conflicts, infidelity, intimacy issues, and emotional distance.
How long does EFT therapy take?
The duration of EFT therapy varies depending on the specific needs and goals of the couple. Some couples may experience significant improvements in a few sessions, while others may require more extensive treatment.
Is EFT suitable my partner and me?
EFT is generally suitable for most couples, regardless of sexual orientation, cultural background, or relationship stage. However, it may not be appropriate for couples experiencing severe individual mental health issues or those unwilling to engage in therapy together.
What if my partner doesn’t want to attend?
