ICEEFT Directory

The International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT) maintains a directory of therapists certified in EFT, a modality with strong scientific backing for couples work. EFT, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, focuses on emotional connection and attachment between partners, making it particularly effective for couples dealing with disconnection or unresolved conflicts. All therapists listed here have completed rigorous certification training and ongoing education.

This directory suits couples seeking EFT's specific tools for de-escalating conflict and rebuilding emotional closeness. Because it's a smaller, more carefully vetted list than general directories, you know you're choosing someone with depth of training in this evidence-based approach. It works well if you've read about attachment-based therapy and want to work with someone fluent in that framework, or if previous therapy left you looking for a different perspective.
