The Institute of Emotion-Focused Therapy Ireland offers training in EFT and related therapies.

Trainings run by the institute are intended for practitioners who are already qualified, practising psychotherapy, and accredited with their governing body. Within Ireland, trainings are typically open to Counselling and Clinical Psychologists and to registered/accredited psychotherapists and counsellors.

All EFT training is facilitated by trainers accredited by isEFT, the International Society for Emotion Focused Therapy. All trainings are carried out to iEFT training standards such that participants can work towards accreditation as EFT therapists. Please see the isEFT website for details of training standards and accreditation criteria.
