EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY (EFT)
Developed by the late Dr. Sue Johnson,
EFT focuses on creating secure emotional
bonds in couples. By identifying and
transforming negative patterns of
interaction,
EFT helps partners understand and
express their emotions in ways that
strengthen their connection and resolve
conflicts.

THE GOTTMAN METHOD
Pioneered by Dr. John and Julie Gottman,
this approach is grounded in over four
decades of research on what makes
relationships succeed or fail.
The Gottman Method emphasizes building
a sound relationship house, enhancing
intimacy, managing conflict, and creating
shared meaning.
Through practical tools and exercises,
couples learn to improve their
relationship
and deepen their emotional connection.
