What is Emotionally Focused Therapy?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is the best model of couples therapy available. Sue Johnson is one of the originators and the main proponent of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT), developed in the early 1980′s. It is a research based model of therapy, proving highly effective. 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and approximately 90% show significant improvements. There’s no need in seeing your clients break up, when they can get better!
