The Toronto Centre for Emotionally Focused Therapy is thrilled to host Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy Essentials this October—featuring the dynamic pairing of two internationally respected ICEEFT Trainers: Dr. Leanne Campbell (Victoria, BC) and Robin Williams Blake (Toronto, ON).
Leanne and Robin first teamed up as a training duo in 2019, and since then, they’ve dedicated their focus to the growth and development of Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT).
Leanne is the co-author of the EFIT Primer—A Primer for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)—written alongside the late Dr. Sue Johnson. As one of the world’s leading voices on using EFIT with trauma survivors, she travels globally to train therapists in this powerful model.
Robin, Founder and Director of the Toronto Centre for EFT since 2007, is also known internationally for his work in helping therapists apply the EFT model to individual therapy in meaningful and transformative ways. Together, Leanne and Robin bring both heart and expertise to their trainings — making this an event you don’t want to miss.

EFIT is an attachment science-based approach to individual therapy that, like the other EFT interventions, offers an integration of humanistic experiential interventions focused on reshaping intrapsychic experience and systemic interventions focused on reshaping patterns of engagement with significant others. Emotion is given precedence because of its powerful role in structuring inner experience, motivation, and key interactional patterns in relationships. Emotion links and organizes core experience and interaction.
Emotion moves people. Understanding the intuition of emotion and how to use it to create potent and sustainable change moves both the client and therapist. Sessions become more focused and effective. Corrective emotional experiences transform, shift perspectives, shift thoughts about self, about trust, confidence and competence. It is an organic process: when emotions are tapped into and used effectively, a shift in thoughts naturally follows.
Emotion is a reliable guide post, and the destination is clear: secure attachment. The lens of attachment helps us to see and understand individuals in context. EFT provides us with the tools, a roadmap, to help each individual achieve a secure connection with themselves and their most important relationships.
Goals:
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging
Careful attention will be given to the selection of case examples that represent diverse cultural contexts. The C.A.R.E framework of EFT assessment will be discussed, illustrating how understanding a client’s cultural background is essential in exploring attachment and affect regulation strategies
