Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach that helps individuals and couples understand and transform the emotional patterns underlying their distress. Rooted in attachment theory, EFT views emotions as a guide to unmet needs and helps you develop more secure, connected relationships—both with yourself and with others. It's particularly well-known for its effectiveness with couples.

On First Session, you can browse therapists who offer EFT and watch their intro videos to get a sense of their warmth and approach. All therapists have their credentials verified during onboarding. Whether you prefer online or in-person sessions, you can book directly or request a free consultation to find the right match.

About First Session
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

Emotionally Focused Therapy is an approach based on attachment science that helps you understand and reshape your emotional responses. EFT views emotions as adaptive and informative, helping you identify the deeper feelings and needs beneath surface-level reactions. It's used with individuals, couples, and families to create more secure emotional bonds and healthier patterns of relating.

How can EFT help?

Many people find EFT helpful for improving relationships, processing difficult emotions, and healing attachment wounds. For couples, it can help break negative cycles and rebuild trust and connection. For individuals, EFT can support you in understanding your emotional patterns and developing a more secure sense of self. It's often used for relationship distress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

What happens in an EFT session?

In EFT sessions, your therapist will help you slow down and explore your emotional experience. You'll learn to identify the patterns that keep you stuck and access the deeper feelings underneath. For couples, this often involves understanding each partner's attachment needs and creating new, more responsive ways of connecting. Sessions are warm, focused, and collaborative.

How do I find an EFT therapist?

On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who offer Emotionally Focused Therapy. Each therapist has a profile with an intro video so you can get a sense of their warmth. You can book a session directly online or request a free consultation first. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding.

Is EFT right for me?

EFT may be a good fit if you want to understand your emotional patterns and build more secure connections. It's particularly helpful for couples stuck in negative cycles and for individuals working through attachment-related concerns. Consider booking a consultation with a therapist to discuss whether EFT might suit your goals.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Browse EFT therapists on First Session and watch their intro videos to find someone whose warmth resonates with you. Once you've found a match, you can book your first session directly online. Many therapists offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to connect first.
