EFT couples therapist, online worldwide
Underneath most couple conflict is a simpler question neither partner says out loud: 'Are you there for me?' I'm Shagoon Maurya, a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (ACA Level 2, PACFA) trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, and EFT is how we answer it, together, online.
Emotionally Focused Therapy is one of the most researched couples approaches in the world, built on attachment science. Its core insight: the fight about the dishes is rarely about the dishes. It's a protest against disconnection, one partner pursues, the other withdraws, and both end up alone in the same house.
As your EFT therapist I help you see that negative cycle as the enemy, not each other, then guide the conversations that actually change it: the vulnerable, honest exchanges underneath the anger that let partners reach for each other again.
The EFT journey with me
De-escalate the cycle
Name the pursue-withdraw dance you're trapped in and step out of it together.
Reach the softer feelings
Under anger sits hurt, fear and longing, EFT makes them safe to say and safe to hear.
Restructure the bond
Guided bonding conversations that rebuild trust and secure connection, not just better manners.
Consolidate
Lock in the new pattern so the old cycle doesn't quietly return.
Who EFT helps
Couples stuck in repeating fights, partners who feel more like flatmates than lovers, relationships strained by distance or resentment, and couples rebuilding after rupture, it pairs powerfully with my affair recovery work.
EFT's discovery is simple and profound: couples don't need to fight less. They need to reach for each other more.
I also draw on the Gottman Method and CBT couples work where they serve you, see Gottman Method therapy or start with a free 15-minute consultation for you both.
