Training
Why train in EFT
01
Facilitate emotional change
Help clients access, make sense of and transform painful emotions, rather than only talk about them, using a research-based map of how emotional change happens.
02
Build therapeutic presence
Develop empathic attunement through live demonstrations, supervised practice in small groups and reflection on your own experience.
03
Follow the client’s process
Learn to recognise and respond to the client’s moment-to-moment experiential process, allowing therapy to unfold from where the client is.
What is EFT?
An empirically supported, humanistic approach
Emotion-Focused Therapy integrates emotion theory with person-centred, gestalt, existential and systemic therapies. It was originally developed by Dr. Leslie Greenberg with Dr. Robert Elliott and Dr. Laura Rice, and continues to develop through active research.
EFT views emotions as central to human functioning and therapeutic change. Emotions tell us what is important and guide what we need, which helps us figure out what action to take.
- Research-based: effective for depression, complex trauma, anxiety and more
- Clients are experts in their experience; therapists are process experts
