Sexual concerns and difficulties are very common in relationships, yet few people have the tools or resources to address them. Many keep their struggles to themselves, often feeling anxious and worried.
Sex and relationship therapy can help you overcome these challenges, creating healthy and enriching sex and relationship experiences.

What is EFT?
Emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach to relationship counseling that focuses on strengthening emotional bonds between partners. It’s grounded in attachment theory and goes deeper than just addressing surface-level conflicts. EFT helps partners identify relationship patterns, access and express underlying feelings and needs, and respond to each other more effectively. The goal is to create a more secure bond that is rooted in emotional safety, trust, and care.
