Our mission is to foster healthier relationships and happier lives for people through excellent psychotherapy, innovative education, and research.
History of EFT Institute Slovakia
In 2023, the first certified EFT institute in Slovakia, named The EFT Institute Slovakia (approved since January 2023), was founded by Júlia Halamová. Since 2013, several short-term psychotherapy trainings focused on individual, couples, and family forms of EFT have been conducted in Slovakia, organized and facilitated by Júlia Halamová in collaboration with EFT founder Les Greenberg, and other EFT trainers including Joanne Dolhanty, Ladislav Timuľák, and Serine Warwar.
Since 2023, with the certification obtained by EFT Institute Slovakia, we offer certified EFT trainings with international validity, as well as supervision and certification for other psychotherapists, supervisors, and trainers in the Slovak language. Information about trainings worldwide can be found on the website of the International Institute for EFT, the International Society for Emotion Focused Therapy, where current and upcoming educational programs are listed. You will also find a list of certified EFT therapists, supervisors, and trainers along with the requirements for education and certification for individual EFT therapy as well as EFT couples therapy.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is an empirically supported therapeutic approach for individuals and couples according to the American Psychological Association (APA, 2023a, 2023b). Within EFT Institute Slovakia, we conduct research in collaboration with the Institute of Applied Psychology at the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, Comenius University.
