Providing training in Emotionally Focused Therapy
Endorsed by the International Centre for Excellence in EFT (ICEEFT) and supported by the British EFT Centre (BEFT).
I run Externships in Britain and for Poland and I run LGBTQ+ centred Externships internationally.
*There is an ever increasing demand for EFT relationship therapy as public awareness of the effectiveness of Emotionally Focused Therapy grows. It can be a struggle to find EFT therapists with availability for new clients so we need more therapists training to meet clients needs.*
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), as developed by Dr Sue Johnson, is a collaborative, structured, therapy approach to working with intimate adult relationships, families and individuals that fosters the creation of secure relationship bonds.
EFT is a change process that facilitates movement from distress to recovery by transforming negative cycles of interaction into safe emotional connection between intimate partners and family members.
Based on the science of emotions and attachment theory as well as humanistic and systemic theories, EFT has a high success rate in achieving secure, resilient relationships in couples and within families, and in helping individuals to flexibly manage their emotional experience.

ICEEFT Stance on Diversity
We aim to cultivate a climate of inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. In all facets of our work we strive to embody what we hope to see in the world — a just, loving humanity and community in which people are free to be themselves fully — where people can embrace their most basic universal human attachment needs without fear of persecution or marginalization as a result of religion, race, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, class, mental health, physical character or disability. These values are inherent in the attachment science and humanistic approach to intervention that all our work is based on.
Specifically, humanistic approaches such as EFT are collaborative and respectful. We create a safe place for people and treat them as persons, not problems or types. Our approach is non-pathologizing in practice.
Our values are inclusive and egalitarian while viewing human connection as sacred — something to be honoured and cultivated.
Our scientific and theoretical base outlines key universals, emotion and attachment, while respecting individual differences.

How have participants experienced the training?
‘Sandra and Helene offer a very special Core Skills training. The course has the mixture of a robust theoretical foundation and the space for safe, encouraging and experiential learning.

It has refined my skills, re-ignited my passion, and re-established my heart well and truly in the attachment frame. Thank you so much Sandra and Helene for embodying the safety and love of EFT to facilitate such a powerful and inspirational experience.’ (Andrea)
