Counseling often focuses on specific problems and is usually short-term, while psychotherapy tends to address deeper, more complex issues and is often longer-term.

You might benefit from therapy if you’re experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress, having difficulty coping with daily life, struggling with relationships, or dealing with traumatic events. Therapy can also be helpful for personal growth and self-improvement.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) by Sue Johnson:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach developed by Sue Johnson that focuses on improving relationships by addressing emotions and attachment bonds. EFT helps individuals identify and understand their emotions, communicate their needs effectively, and create secure and lasting connections with their partners or loved ones. Through a series of structured sessions, EFT aims to break negative interaction patterns, foster emotional openness and responsiveness, and strengthen the emotional bonds between individuals. Sue Johnson's EFT has been successful in treating various relationship issues, including communication problems, conflicts, and intimacy issues, by promoting a deeper understanding of emotions and fostering a sense of safety and connection within relationships.

Emotionally Focused Therapy can be used in couples therapy (EFCT), in individual therapy (EFIT and in family therapy (EFFT)

EFCT is a short term (8 to 20 sessions) structured approach, originally developed for couple therapy and based on attachment science, formulated in the 1980’s. Interventions in EFCT integrate a humanistic, experiential approach to restructuring emotional experience and a systemic structural approach to restructuring interactions. A substantial body of research now exists on the effectiveness of EFCT. This research shows large treatment effect sizes and stable results over time. EFCT is used successfully with many different kinds of couples in private practice, university training centers and hospital clinics. Research exists for couples dealing with depression, with anxiety resulting from trauma, with medical illness and with forgiveness dilemmas. EFCT is used with varied cultural groups and educational levels across North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa and Asia. It is used with traditional and non-traditional couples, including same-sex couples.
