Becoming Certified in EFT
AREFTC encourages you to pursue excellence in your craft by seeking Certification in EFT through ICEEFT.
A Certified EFT Therapist is one whose expertise in this model of therapy is recognized by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). The primary goals of certification are to promote excellence in the practice of EFT and to ensure maintenance of these standards in both the supervision and training of this approach. Only therapists who complete the ICEEFT certification process can advertise that they are EFT Certified.
