Training in Couple Therapy – Externship In Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

WHAT IS EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED COUPLE THERAPY?

Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) is an effective short-term, research-validated approach to couple therapy, developed in the mid-1980’s by Dr. Sue Johnson, founder of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).
A Humanistic and Process-oriented therapy, EFT is based on John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory. It reflects the most recent research on the nature of relationship distress, adult love, and emotion. Emotionally Focused Therapy has revolutionized couple therapy.
It is one of the most empirically supported models of couple therapy, is being taught all over the world and is a must-know model if you are working with couples.

SANDRA TAYLOR, PHD, MBACP (ACCRED.)

Sandra is an ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer, Supervisor and Therapist. She is passionate about EFT and specialises in working with couples. She has a private practice in the north west of England and supervises therapists there as well as via the internet. Sandra is the Coordinator, and a founder member, of the British EFT Centre which has over 200 members across Britain and holds an annual conference.
She started her EFT training in 2011 and alongside her own development she has supported the development of others in EFT through bringing Gail Palmer in to train counsellors at Marriage Care – a charity with 200 volunteer counsellors in England and Wales where she worked as Director of Relationship Counselling.
Sandra’s original therapy training, back in the 1980’s, was as a Person Centred Counsellor and this supported her work as an Occupational Therapist in a range of mental health settings. She is a registered and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Sandra is an experienced trainer, having trained therapists from introductory to degree level in charities, colleges and universities over more than 20 years. Her PhD is in the reciprocal relationship between counselling students and trainers, a subject that continues to inspire her and influence her as a trainer.
Sandra is no stranger to the Middle East, as she was assisting on the first Externship in Dubai in November 2017.
