View profileEmotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a therapeutic approach focused on emotions, attachment needs and relationship patterns. It is most commonly used in couples therapy, but some therapists also adapt EFT principles for individual or family work. This page refers to Emotionally Focused Therapy, not “EFT tapping” or Emotional Freedom Techniques.
EFT can be helpful when a relationship feels stuck in repeated arguments, withdrawal, emotional distance, criticism, defensiveness or loss of trust. It may support people dealing with communication difficulties, couples conflict, infidelity recovery, intimacy issues and trust issues.
The central idea in EFT is that many relationship problems are not only about communication skills. Under conflict or silence, there are often deeper questions: “Do I matter?”, “Can I trust you?”, “Will you stay close?”, “Am I safe to show what I feel?” When these needs are not expressed safely, partners may protect themselves through anger, criticism, control, avoidance, silence or emotional shutdown.
In sessions, the therapist helps identify the negative cycle between partners rather than blaming one person as the whole problem. The work may include slowing down reactive conversations, naming vulnerable emotions, understanding attachment needs, repairing moments of disconnection and practising new ways of reaching and responding. Communication can improve, but the deeper goal is to create more emotional safety and connection.
EFT may be relevant after betrayal or infidelity, when partners need help understanding the emotional injury and deciding whether repair is possible. It may also support intimacy issues when closeness has become linked with pressure, rejection, shame, fear or unresolved hurt. EFT does not force forgiveness, reconciliation or one specific outcome. The aim is to help people understand the relationship pattern and make clearer, safer choices.
People looking specifically for relationship support may also explore Couples Therapy. For international couples or people living abroad, online therapy may make support easier to access. If there is active violence, coercive control, intimidation or immediate risk, standard couple therapy may not be appropriate and urgent specialist support should be prioritised.
The Côte d’Azur attracts people from all over the world, and many international residents of Nice look for emotionally focused therapy in English or their own language. The therapist helps both partners recognise the cycle that keeps repeating and express the needs underneath it.
A session usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks, in person in Nice with therapists who receive clients there, or online by secure video. Insurance cover for this kind of session varies in France, so it is worth asking your mutuelle before you start. Before booking, each profile shows the therapist’s approach, languages, session format and fee.

The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €120–€220 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and their consultations are covered by the Assurance Maladie when you follow the coordinated care pathway. Sessions with psychologists and psychotherapists are mostly paid directly. Under the “Mon soutien psy” scheme, a limited number of sessions with participating psychologists can be partly reimbursed, and many mutuelles or expat insurances refund part of private sessions: check your contract. Therapists give you an invoice you can submit.
Fees are set by each therapist and displayed on their profile. The indicative ranges shown on this site are around €80 to €180 per session for most individual approaches, €120 to €220 for couples or family sessions and €70 to €130 for coaching, career counselling or parenting support. A session usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks.
Therapy cannot respond to emergencies. If you or someone near you is in danger, call 112 (European emergency number) or 15 (SAMU, medical emergencies). For suicidal thoughts, the national prevention line 3114 is free and available 24/7.
Start with what matters most to you: the language, the topic you want to work on, the approach, in-person or online sessions and the fee, all shown on the profiles. If you would like help choosing, tell us what you need and we will suggest therapists. Your impression after the first session counts too.
