The middle stages of EFCT are where therapists often feel stretched – how do you move beyond identifying the negative cycle to creating new emotional experiences? The Deliberate Practice Group for Skills 6–10 helps you strengthen these intermediate techniques so you can guide couples toward deeper engagement and connection.
Each weekly session, led by Janine Moran, focuses on one specific skill. You’ll practise through structured exercises, receive direct feedback, and integrate these techniques into your ongoing clinical work.
Perfect for therapists who have completed Skills 1–5 or equivalent training, this course bridges the gap between foundational learning and advanced EFCT practice.
