From Isabella:
"In our busy and often stressful lives I find the model of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)  an effective and  powerful model, grounded in research that enables couples to slow down, to safely explore their issues and discover healthier and long-lasting ways for emotional reconnection.  

​I am often touched by the confidence given to me by couples to work alongside them as they seek to better their relationships, understand their negative cycle that catches them out and consequently discover and move towards a deeper, more loving connection and bond with each other. "

From Julian:
"I am a registered clinical psychologist who has been providing therapy for over thirty years. My clients include couples, but also individuals (adults and adolescents) and whole families.

My long-standing experiences of people who come for therapy is that they are courageous and remarkably resilient. This is certainly true of the couples I have seen.

Even when there have been significant betrayals, couples can successfully work through their difficulties to obtain a sense of safety, openness and mutual respect.

To work with couples on this journey is a privilege and immensely rewarding."

From Bridget:
"Couples Therapy, Counselling and Mediation.

Feeling deeply connected to a partner brings joy and security, giving confidence in other key relationships and life endeavours.

When we face mountains together they don’t seem so high! EFT offers a well-proven map to getting us all back on track from disconnection, distance, despair, entrenched patterns or injury. It will give you ways to hear, confide in and experience your partner with new depth and beauty.

I am passionate about the transforming change and healing that EFT brings to relationships. Understanding and working with emotions to shape safe, fulfilling, balanced lives is central to every aspect of my practice and daily life. I apply EFT principles and learnings to working with couples and individuals, leaders, managers and groups in businesses and hospitals.

​It is a honour to join with people to discover how their relational lives can be optimised.

I work early morning, daytime and 4 evenings a week to provide flexible session options. "

From Jo:
"Jo is passionate about relationships. Recognising that life is a lot more enjoyable and fulfilling when our relationships are thriving, Jo has dedicated her training and her practice to support couples as they find their way back to one another through difficult or challenging seasons.

Having trained extensively in advanced sex therapy and emotionally focused therapy, Jo works collaboratively with couples to explore the places where their relationship has become stuck in criticism, blame, anger and resentment.

The goal of working together is to establish new and healthy relationship patterns that in turn provide a deep sense of connection, safety and security. Most couples experience their new relationship pattern as life changing which sets them free to focus on the rest of life’s joys and challenges.

Jo’s approach to therapy is grounded in the science of relationships along with practical real life experience and a pragmatic caring style of listening without judgement. "

From Ali:
"I have worked as a counsellor for 20 years and have trained in a variety of counselling models.  I love the way that EFT takes a non-blaming approach to counselling. 

It helps couples to step back and recognise their stuck patterns, and the pain this causes. EFT instead invites couples into a whole new way of doing relationship, where there is a deep sense of closeness and connection.  I personally have experienced the benefit of having had EFT counselling in my own relationship.

From Helen:
"Having worked with couples for roughly 20 years, I was delighted to find this particular way of working with couples experiencing difficulties in their relationship.

It's been so much more helpful than any other model I've worked with. The extensive and robust research, which has also been born out in my experience, shows that it is really helpful for the majority of couples. It helps couples re-discover their close, warm connection again, improving their intimacy (both physical and emotional), improving their communication and reducing arguments or 'freeze outs'. 

My sense is that it works so well because we are not looking for fault or blame.  Instead, we're directly working with the couples' patterns of communication that keep them stuck in doing the same things over and over and that sadly, leave them feeling disconnected and unhappy.

 
I completed the training in EFT for Couples in 2011 and have been using this model almost solely in my couples work ever since.
 
I'm a member of NZAC and am also Family Court approved.  Currently I'm working from Titirangi and on occasion, from New Lynn. "

From Angela:
"I have training in a variety of couples therapy models and find Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples to be very effective in restoring and/or enhancing a loving connection.

I can help you to think about what makes relationships work well and to learn to manage your conflicts and arguments more effectively. Together we’ll look at where you are both getting stuck in your relationship.

My areas of special interest include anxiety and depression, grief and loss, maternal mental health, fertility issues and secondary infertility. I find that these issues can often be very effectively addressed in the context of the couple relationship.

​Additionally, I have a particular interest in how people who have characteristics of Asperger Syndrome experience relationships and in the experiences of their intimate partners. "

I have a particular interest in working with couples who want more sexual fulfilment, experience sexual difficulties and/or have a history of unwanted sexual experiences. I'm trained in supporting clients with sexual trauma as well as using tantric arts to bring more joy into the couple's sex life.

No matter where you are at right now, you can create a deep and fulfilling relationship that will be your safe base for creating the life you really want and making a meaningful contribution with your gifts.

From Lorraine:
"It has been a privilege to train as an EFT couple therapist after practicing over the past 18 years as a counsellor, family therapist, attachment-parenting educator, and as a supervisor.  

I have always had a passion for helping couples and families find the experience of love they long for, and to find healing from past emotional hurt.

I consider EFT to be the ultimate approach for couples and families who are experiencing distress and disconnect in their relationships.  

I love the way the EFT model is designed to identify the conversations that keep us stuck, help to make sense of the deeper places within ourselves and our loved ones, and equip us to reestablish safe emotional connection “for a lifetime of love” (Dr. Sue Johnson’s words). "

From Emma:
"​As soon as I came across Sue Johnson’s book Hold Me Tight I knew that I had discovered something that could help me and my partner strengthen our relationship and deepen our connection.  Since then I have completed the EFT Family Therapy training and the EFT Couples Externship training. 

​I believe this way of working with couples has such success because it helps the couple find their way back to each other, helping them reconnect, perhaps more deeply than even before, facilitating new understandings and enhanced empathy and connection.  How we behave when we are distressed and despairing and desperate to be heard and seen often leaves us getting less of what we want or need.  EFT helps couples turn those patterns around enhancing connection, closeness and intimacy.
 
It is a real privilege to help couples work through their difficulties and to see them as they come to be able to turn towards each other for support.  Seeing that light go on as they recognise that these patterns are there because they are so important to each other, that is what makes EFT such a hopeful approach for me."
