Having worked with couples for roughly 20 years, I was delighted to find this particular way of working with couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship.

It's been so much more helpful than any other model I've worked with. The extensive and robust research, which has also been born out in my experience, shows that it is really helpful for the majority of couples. It helps couples re-discover their close, warm connection again, improving their intimacy (both physical and emotional), improving their communication and reducing arguments or 'freeze outs'.

My sense is that it works so well because we are not looking for fault or blame. Instead, we're directly working with the couples' patterns of communication that keep them stuck in doing the same things over and over and that sadly, leave them feeling disconnected and unhappy.

I completed the training in EFT for Couples in 2011 and have been using this model almost solely in my couples work ever since.
