Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that centres on recognising, understanding, and regulating emotions to facilitate healing and growth. Developed by Dr. Leslie Greenberg and Dr. Robert Elliott in the 1980s, EFT views emotions as integral to human experience and crucial in the therapeutic process.
Unlike therapies that primarily focus on cognition and behaviour, EFT places emotions at the forefront, viewing them as key drivers of behaviour and significant indicators of mental wellbeing. The core premise is helping individuals explore and make sense of their emotional experiences in a supportive, non-judgmental therapeutic environment.
This process allows clients to gain insights into emotional patterns, better understand their needs, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. EFT recognises that emotions contain important information about our experiences and needs.
The Three Stages of EFT:
Exploring Emotions:
Identify and understand both surface and deeper emotions in different situations.
Understanding Emotions:
Learn the purpose of emotions and how to respond to them in healthier ways.
Transformation & Regulation:
Transform unhelpful emotions and build skills to manage them effectively.
Key EFT Techniques:
Reflective Listening:
Therapists listen and reflect emotions to create a safe, supportive space.
Empathic Exploration:
Encourages deeper awareness and understanding of emotional experiences.
Experiential Techniques:
Practical exercises to help process emotions in the present moment.
Emotional difficulties deserve specialist care delivered with empathy, expertise, and genuine understanding. Our clients value the combination of professional EFT training, compassionate approach, and focus on emotional healing that creates meaningful, lasting change.

EFT is a versatile therapeutic approach suitable for individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking to better understand and navigate their emotions, improve relationships, and address various mental health concerns.
Unlike some cognitive or behaviour-focused therapies, EFT places a primary emphasis on emotions. While cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) may focus on changing thought patterns, EFT explores the underlying emotional experiences and their impact on behaviour and cognition.
Yes, EFT incorporates talk therapy as therapists actively engage in discussions with clients to explore their emotional experiences. However, it goes beyond traditional talk therapy by incorporating experiential techniques to help clients directly engage with and process their emotions.
The duration of EFT therapy varies based on individual needs and the nature of the issues being addressed. Some clients may experience positive changes in a few sessions, while more complex issues may require longer-term engagement. The collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client plays a crucial role in the effectiveness and pace of progress.
