What is EFT?

  • Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is an integrative form of psychotherapy that has been proven helpful for treating relationship-related issues.

  • EFT includes methods of person-centred therapy (PCT) and Gestalt therapy. In addition to this combination, EFT applies the knowledge of attachment theory.

  • The purpose of EFT is to focus on human needs connected to emotional responses. Patients undertaking EFT are encouraged to engage with the emotions they feel during treatment and asked to identify the people or stimuli to which the emotions are connected to.

  • Patients in EFT treatment report being able to adjust their emotional associations. EFT looks to analyse a patient’s attachment style and affectional bonds.

  • Couples, families, friends, and even work colleagues have benefited from taking a course of EFT as the therapy results in a better emotional understanding between two parties.

  • Patients who suffer from anxiety-related issues or problems with avoidance may be recommended to undertake EFT treatment.

How can MAPP help?

  • Our emotions toward our loved ones and family members can seem overwhelming.

  • Confronting the emotional difficulties that surround our closest relationships is daunting, and at MAPP Psychology, we acknowledge the challenge.

  • Because of this, we have prioritised creating a friendly and comfortable environment so you can enter therapy without unnecessary stress.

  • Whether you are new to therapy or have experience in psychological counselling, MAPP Psychology will help you toward an improved state of wellbeing.

  • All our treatment methods have been proven to work on a range of psychological difficulties, and you can be assured that we have the right treatment plan for you.

  • Not only will we support you during your present difficulties, but we will also provide you with the knowledge to maintain better relationships in the future.

  • MAPP Psychology wants to equip you with the tools to build better connections with your loved ones throughout your life.

What results can you expect?

  • If you’re advised to undertake a course of EFT, you will begin to learn about how you emotionally respond to different people around you.

  • In the case of family-related issues or relationship troubles, you may even be recommended to take EFT alongside someone else. Whether this is your parent, partner, or child, you will begin to acknowledge the bond you share with them.

  • EFT usually requires around eight to 20 sessions for it to be effective. During this journey, you will experience a spectrum of emotional states, and we are ready to collaborate alongside you.

  • Taking that first step toward therapeutic intervention is often the hardest, so we have prepared the best resources available to give you the best opportunity to work on your relationships.

  • If you struggle to talk or think about your loved ones, it is time to start your path toward a better future.

At MAPP, therapy starts with you.

Your psychologist takes the time to listen, then builds a plan around your goals and circumstances.

What makes that possible is the depth & range of training and experience our doctors of psychology bring to the table. Our psychologists are trained in a broad span of therapy modalities, from CBT and ACT to compassion-focused therapy, person-centred therapy and everything in between.

We fit the approach to you, not you to the approach, and regular check-ins keep it working as your needs change.

We're committed to giving you the support and tools you need to build towards a happier, healthier life.
