EFT-Relationship Therapy
To help you reconnect emotionally, physically & break patterns
Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples
The quality of our relationships deeply shapes the quality of our lives. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a scientifically supported form of relationship therapy that helps couples restore emotional connection, trust, and intimacy.
In every relationship, painful patterns and recurring conflicts can develop that leave partners feeling disconnected, unseen, or emotionally unsafe. Through EFT, we gently explore these underlying dynamics and identify the attachment patterns that keep couples stuck.
Together, we create a safe and compassionate space where both partners can slow down, understand each other more deeply, and reconnect emotionally. The therapeutic process focuses on strengthening emotional safety, improving communication, and rebuilding intimacy and trust.
My approach is warm, empathetic, and trauma-informed, supporting couples in finding their way back to authentic connection and secure attachment.

Sanne Homewood
I am a licensed couples counselor, psychologist and relationship therapist. My approach is based on emotionally focused therapy. Instead of focusing on communication only, we look at underlying emotions, attachment and dynamics. EFT-therapy is based on many scientifically proven insights and has a 90% success rate.
I listen without judgement and I often hear from clients that I use a warm but direct style.
Enrollment
It is easy to enroll for sessions. At the moment there is a short waitlist of about 4-6 weeks.
Expats
Being an expat myself and married to someone from a different country,
I can help you navigate through cultural differences in your relationship.
Online
Online therapy has been proven just as effective as face-to-face therapy. You have the comfort of your own home and you decide the frequency, the time and the pace.
My approach
Emotion Focused Therapy
&
Client-Centered Therapy
A lot of therapists, including myself, have been captivated by the way of working with EFT: with focus on emotions and attachment style, we can restore the connection within one person and between two people. Add client-centered therapy into this mix and you have a form of therapy in which the therapeutic relationship is a safe homebase. This brings unconditional acceptance and authenticity from both client and therapist. Understanding of (internal) communication and processes, underlying emoties and desires, and the believe in your own restorative power is the perfect recipe for growth.
Sanne is an amazing therapist. Our sessions together have really helped me in my journey. It is wonderful to have someone so present with you, with whom you can share the whole story and discuss possible directions. She really helped me gain clarity. I felt safe during our sessions because she is so empathetic and calm. She really makes you feel like she is there for you.
Thank you Sanne, for everything!
Isa
Sanne helped us during a difficult period in our life, adjusting to new parenthood we lost our connection. She gave us the support and helped us gain new insights that helped us move forward. Her warm, empathetic and respectful attitude made us feel comfortable sharing our emotions.
Anne & Peter
“Before starting therapy, we felt stuck in the same painful cycle and emotionally disconnected from each other. Through the sessions with Sanne, we learned to truly understand the deeper emotions and needs underneath our reactions. We now communicate with much more openness, safety, and compassion. Our relationship feels more connected, intimate, and alive again.”
Mel & Steve
“We had completely lost our physical intimacy and didn’t know how to talk about sex without getting stuck. Therapy with Sanne helped us feel emotionally safe with each other again, and from there intimacy slowly returned in a much more connected way.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EFT?
EFT stands for Emotionally Focused Therapy. It is one of the most researched and effective forms of couples therapy in the world. Rather than focusing solely on communication techniques, EFT focuses on the emotional connection between partners. Because that is often the key to real change.
What is attachment and how does it affect my relationship?
Attachment refers to the way we emotionally bond and connect with others, shaped by our early relational experiences. Our attachment patterns influence how we handle intimacy, conflict, trust, emotional closeness, and fear of rejection within relationships.
When attachment wounds are triggered, couples often get stuck in patterns such as criticism, withdrawal, emotional distance, anxiety, or defensiveness. Relationship therapy helps uncover these unconscious dynamics and creates more emotional safety and secure connection.Does online therapy work for couples?
Yes. Online couples therapy can be highly effective and offers a safe and comfortable space to work on your relationship from your own home environment. Many couples find it easier to open up emotionally in a familiar setting, which can support deeper connection and more honest communication. Online sessions are also a practical and flexible option for couples managing busy schedules, different locations, family life, or demanding careers.
How many sessions will we need?
This depends on the unique dynamics, goals, and history of each couple or individual. Most couples attend between 8 and 14 sessions, although some people benefit from shorter or longer therapeutic processes. Healing relationship patterns takes time, consistency, and emotional safety.
Can I come alone if my partner does not want therapy?
Absolutely. Individual therapy can already create important shifts within relationship dynamics. By becoming more aware of your own emotional patterns, attachment style, and communication habits, the relationship itself often begins to change as well. You are welcome both individually and as a couple.
Is relationship therapy suitable for intimacy and sexual issues?
Yes. Many couples seek therapy because of emotional disconnection, lack of intimacy, differences in sexual needs, or recurring feelings of rejection and frustration. In EFT therapy, we explore the deeper emotional and attachment dynamics beneath intimacy struggles, helping couples reconnect emotionally as well as physically
