Online Short Workshops for Couples
A safe and easy-going setting to get to know EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy)
The evenings build on each other, but can also be attended individually – depending on what works best for you.
In this two-part online seminar, you and your partner have the opportunity to experience how EFT helps couples rebuild closeness and understanding.
What to expect:
-
2 sessions of 2.5 hours each (Sunday evenings)
-
A safe, confidential atmosphere – sharing in the group is voluntary
-
A varied mix of input, stories, videos, and optional partner exercises
What makes it special:
-
Practical & hopeful – concrete guidance that inspires courage
-
Accessible & easy-going – ideal if you’re experiencing EFT for the first time
-
Deep & moving – enough space for genuine reflection and curiosity for more
This seminar is like a warm invitation: a first step into the world of EFT, inspired by the Hold Me Tight process – easily accessible, yet with a noticeable depth.
