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.
Students, researchers, families, freelancers and people who came for a new start all live in Berlin, and they come to emotionally focused therapy with very different questions. The therapist helps both partners recognise the cycle that keeps repeating and express the needs underneath it.
Each profile shows whether sessions take place in person in Berlin or online, together with the languages and the fee. Some insurers or employers in Germany contribute to this kind of support and others do not, so check your contract before you start. If you are not sure whether emotionally focused therapy fits what you are going through, send us a message and we will suggest therapists who match your needs.

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.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
If no therapist is listed yet for this therapy, you can still explore related approaches and pathologies on the site.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.
Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
