Clinical Supervision: Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy

Deepen your clinical presence with the ACES model and a structured, supportive path toward EFT mastery

For therapists dedicated to meaningful change in marriage counselling, couples therapy, and attachment-based work, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) offers a clear, research-based roadmap. But walking that path takes more than knowledge — it takes guidance, feedback, and a relational foundation.

At The Relationship Room, we provide EFCT clinical supervision that’s thoughtful, emotionally safe, and focused on your growth as a therapist. Led by Theresa Pong, a Certified EFCT and EFIT Therapist and an ICEEFT Supervisor-in-Training, supervision here is grounded in the widely respected ACES model — Alliance, Conceptual, Experiential, and Self-of-the-Therapist.

Theresa brings over 15 years of clinical experience and specializes in helping therapists embody the EFT model with clarity and confidence, whether you’re early in your training or preparing for certification.

EFCT is not just a technique — it’s a way of showing up in the therapy room with presence, emotional attunement, and structure. 

Supervision plays a vital role in helping therapists learn how to use the model with fidelity and depth. 

It’s where theory meets practice, and where growth comes from courage and support.

Just as clients heal in secure relationships, therapists grow in secure supervision. A strong supervisory alliance is foundational. Supervision with Theresa offers a safe space for reflection, exploration, and honest discussion — free from judgment or pressure.

You’re invited to bring both your clinical successes and your stuck points into the room. Theresa’s warm, attuned approach helps you feel supported, not scrutinized.

EFCT is rooted in attachment theory. Understanding how emotional bonds form, break, and repair is key to helping couples move from disconnection to intimacy. In supervision, Theresa helps you build a strong conceptual foundation using the EFT map.

She supports you in sharpening your ability to track cycles, identify emotional processes, and map interventions based on Sue Johnson’s theoretical model — ensuring your work remains anchored in the heart of EFCT.

EFCT is an experiential model — it’s not just about talking about emotions but helping clients feel and respond to them in real-time. Likewise, supervision must go beyond discussion. Theresa incorporates video review of therapy sessions, considered the gold standard in EFT learning.

By watching recorded segments together, you’ll receive clear, actionable feedback that highlights both your strengths and areas for growth. Experiential supervision also includes role plays, deep process reflections, and real-time skill development using the EFT Tango.

The therapist is not just a facilitator — you're a core part of the relational field. Supervision with Theresa includes space to reflect on how your own attachment history, emotional triggers, and experiences show up in your sessions.

Theresa encourages self-reflection as a strength, not a flaw, and gently guides you to explore how your internal world may impact your external responses. Conversations about therapist well-being and self-care are integrated into the process, supporting your sustainability in this emotionally rich work.

Theresa’s supervision is grounded in the ACES model but made practical through the following seven core principles that shape each supervision journey:

Theresa creates a safe, welcoming space where supervisees can reflect without fear. This encourages vulnerability, curiosity, and authentic conversations that lead to growth.

Every session has a clear focus — whether it’s de-escalating a cycle, strengthening an enactment, or navigating therapeutic stuckness. By identifying specific skills or themes upfront, supervision becomes efficient and transformative.

Theresa uses video review to provide grounded, detailed feedback. Watching your own sessions back is a powerful way to see what’s working, build awareness, and refine your therapeutic moves — an essential tool for those pursuing ICEEFT certification.

You’ll develop a deep understanding of attachment theory and how it guides every session. Theresa helps you see how clients’ emotional reactivity, protection strategies, and vulnerability all tie into their attachment needs — and how your interventions can transform these patterns.

Supervision is designed to help you master the EFT core competencies as outlined by ICEEFT. From the EFT Tango to micro-interventions like reflection, validation, and heightening, Theresa supports your progression toward clinical excellence.

Theresa invites you to reflect on your emotional responses, stuck points, and personal patterns that may be influencing your work. This encourages professional growth and increases your ability to stay present and grounded in emotionally intense sessions.

Theresa believes in lifelong learning. She encourages supervisees to attend EFT workshops, engage with key readings, and remain connected to the global EFT community. Discussions around self-care and burnout prevention are also part of her holistic approach to supervision.
