Does it feel familiar?
"We love each other, but lately it feels like we're just coexisting."
"One of us shuts down. The other pushes harder. Neither of us wants this cycle."
"The same argument keeps coming back, just wearing different clothes."
"Something shifted (a move, a baby, a rough patch) and we never quite found our way back."
When disconnection becomes the pattern, love doesn't disappear.
It just gets harder to reach.
A therapy built on science and on the reality of relationships
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is one of the most extensively researched approaches in couples therapy, validated by the American Psychological Association and recognised internationally as the gold standard for relationship work.
EFT doesn't teach communication scripts. It works with what's underneath the conflict: the unspoken needs, the fears, the moments where we reach for each other and miss. When those patterns shift, couples don't just argue less, they feel genuinely closer, safer, and more seen within the relationship.
Sessions are fully online, via video call.
About Fernanda Souza

I'm a therapist with over ten years of clinical experience, specialising exclusively in EFT for couples.
I was born in Brazil and trained internationally, holding a degree in Psychology and a Master's in Health Sciences from UNIFESP, exchange studies at the University of Alberta (Canada), and a postgraduate diploma in Mental Health from USP(University of São Paulo, consistently ranked among the world's top universities). I am a trained EFT therapist and a member of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).
Working online has allowed me to work with couples across different countries and cultures. I hold a licence from the Brazilian Federal Council of Psychology (CRP 06/129191) and conduct my practice in full accordance with its ethical framework, which includes strict confidentiality, informed consent, and professional conduct standards aligned with internationally recognised guidelines.

We Meet
A relaxed 15-minute conversation, online. You share a little about where you are as a couple. I listen, answer any questions you have, and give you an honest sense of whether I think I can help.

After that first conversation, we move into the therapeutic process itself, focused on who you are as a couple and the unique way your relationship works.
