Relationship therapy’s meaning
EFT therapy is suitable for improving relationships between partners, family members, friends, parents and children. EFT therapy is LGBTQ+ friendly.

Love that creates and gives happiness does not arise by itself. Love is an art that can be mastered with practice. Couple therapy is a space where you and your partner learn to understand each other, open up and build intimacy.
A psychologist with sensitive questions and professional techniques helps to find and revive curiosity about each other, become each other's best friends, restore relationships after betrayal, quarrels, traumas and insults, and fall in love again, getting to know both yourself and your partner more deeply.

Our health, career, parenthood - everything becomes easier with a loved one nearby who loves and hears you. Therefore, investing in relationships is a great contribution to the quality of your life.
Step by step
Therapy process
Step 1. Work terms and schedule
1) Read the terms of my work on this page.
2) If you agree to the terms, sign up for a consultation at the bottom of the page.

Step 2. First 3 sessions
At the beginning of the work, I hold 1 general meeting with you and 1 meeting with each partner.

During the first meetings, I will ask you about your relationship and well-being, a little about your childhood. This information is needed to diagnose your relationship and draw up a work plan.

Based on the questionnaire and conversation, we will analyze the general condition:
1) If there is a suspicion of a physical health problem that affects the relationship, I will recommend getting tested by a general practitioner.
2) If there is a suspicion of a clinical disorder (for example, depression), I will recommend contacting a psychiatrist for diagnosis.
3) If both or one of the partners have such a need, I will additionally recommend seeking personal therapy.

Step 3. Request and Goal Setting
1) We will discuss your request for therapy and analyze it together.
2) We will formulate a goal for joint work that satisfies both partners.

Step 4. Reducing the intensity and creating safety
Usually couples come to therapy with a lot of heavy emotional baggage and mutual reproaches. Therefore, most often the first stage of work is creating safety and reducing conflict.

Step 5. Identifying and stopping negative cycles
Often quarrels and conflicts are based on unsafe cycles of interaction between partners. We will discuss your relationship and difficulties, identify negative cycles and change them.
Usually 60-80% of meetings are spent on the fifth step, and by the end of this stage the relationship has already improved significantly, you feel good together again. Some couples stop working at this stage, but this leads to a less stable result and a return to difficulties in the future. Therefore, it is better to go to the end.

Step 6. Creating Deep Intimacy
After Step 5, you will feel safe in your relationship, which means we will do exercises to develop and strengthen real intimacy.

Step 7. Consolidating Changes
This is the final step to consolidate all the progress of therapy so that the result lasts and pleases you for years to come.

Step 8. Completing Therapy and/or New Goals
After completing the main course of therapy, your relationship will have a solid foundation. And then you can stop therapy or continue it with a new request.

Duration of EFT Therapy
The success and speed of therapy depend on many factors, so it is not always possible to predict the duration. The duration of therapy can be from one meeting to several years. In case of a relationship crisis and conflicts, a course of EFT therapy usually takes at least 6 months with weekly work.
