Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

In the intricate dance of love and relationships, the need for connection, understanding, and emotional intimacy is essential. Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) offers a clear and compassionate path for couples who want to break free from repeating cycles of conflict or distance, and create bonds that feel secure, close, and alive. EFCT is grounded in attachment theory, the understanding that human beings are wired for connection. When these bonds are disrupted, we experience distress, disconnection, or conflict. EFCT has become one of the most effective approaches for repairing and strengthening relationships. Decades of research show that it helps partners move from negative, reactive cycles into patterns that foster trust, intimacy, and deeper love. In EFCT we look closely at the patterns that play out between you. Together, we map how attachment needs, conflict, coping mechanisms, distance, and disconnection show up, and we learn how to reshape those moments into opportunities for closeness, safety, and trust. The process weaves together and apart, slow and steady: We begin with an introductory session together to set the foundation. Each partner then has individual sessions to explore their inner world, attachment history, and relationship needs. We return together to bring these insights into the shared space, creating new pathways for intimacy and secure bonding. This rhythm allows us to fully understand your cycle from every angle, and to bring it into the room with compassion, clarity, and openness. The weaving continues as much as is needed for your relationship system to find connection. Through this work you will: Identify and transform the cycles that keep you stuck. Repair ruptures and rebuild trust. Learn to meet vulnerability with openness rather than defence. Build both practical and emotional tools for closeness. Create a secure, flexible bond that supports love in all its forms This is not about quick fixes or blame. It is about reshaping the cycle itself, so it becomes the place that brings you back to love, again and again, secure, on the same team. Over time, the work helps you create a relationship where vulnerability feels safe, emotions flow openly, and your bond grows stronger. Consistency is key here. I recommend weekly or fortnightly sessions to keep the work alive, embodied, and integrated into your daily lives.
