Therapeutic approach

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) explores emotions and attachment needs in individual sessions, supporting a more secure connection with yourself and others.

How it works

EFIT brings attention to emotional patterns and the needs beneath them. At a pace that feels manageable, you can explore vulnerable feelings and practise new ways of responding to yourself and others.

What it may involve

  • noticing recurring emotional patterns
  • exploring needs for safety and connection
  • working with difficult or vulnerable feelings
  • developing more flexible responses to yourself and others

It may be considered for

  • anxiety and low mood
  • self-criticism and self-doubt
  • feeling emotionally disconnected
  • distress in relationships

How it may be used at Kaeva
