EFT Training with Dr. Clare Rosoman
Clare is an ICEEFT Certified EFT trainer with a passion for attachment and EFT. She is committed to sharing the EFT model with therapists all around the world.
Believing in the power of attachment and connection in all relationships and the unique people who make them what they are, attention is paid in every training event to how EFT might assist people in relationships of many styles such as monogamous couples, non-monogamous relationships and multi-partnered relationships, families, platonic friendships and more. Clare is deeply respectful of the cultural context in which people live, love and grow and prioritizes this in her training and in her therapeutic work.

Brisbane Centre for EFT Stance on Diversity & Inclusion in EFT Training & Therapy
As the Brisbane Centre for EFT, we stand by ICEEFT’s statement on diversity and inclusion in EFT and commit to taking real action to be inclusive of all and to prevent the marginalisation of any members within our Australian EFT community. EFT is for all people regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, culture, sexuality, sex, gender, ability, or age. We acknowledge that systems of oppression exist in our society and we aim to take action to disrupt and challenge the assumptions and norms that allow this.
EFT is for relationships of all constellations between people who matter to each other, regardless of the structure and nature of that relationship. EFT is about nurturing strong healthy relationships that benefit all; individuals, groups, and society as a whole.
BCEFT honours and respects the traditional owners across this vast land in which we provide our services. We acknowledge their enduring connection to land, sea and sky and pay our respect to elders past, present and emerging.

Responsibilities of ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainers
ICEEFT Certified Trainers are leaders in promoting ICEEFT’s Mission, which is to educate mental health professionals and raise public awareness of the effectiveness of EFT and its role in strengthening relationship bonds and creating individual wellbeing.
The role of an EFT Trainer is challenging and rewarding. Usually, a Trainer is affiliated with an EFT Center and is often its director. In addition to shaping and leading their EFT communities, EFT trainers conduct core EFT trainings for therapists and workshops and masterclasses on EFT-related topics. They also offer clinical supervision to EFT therapists and mentor supervisors-in-training to become ICEEFT Certified EFT Supervisors.
Trainer responsibilities typically include:
- Develop and promote an EFT Center
- Being the primary liaison between the ICEEFT Board of Directors and a local EFT Center
- Serve on the committees of ICEEFT
- Contribute to EFT practice development, supervision, training and research
- Collaborate and support each other in developing EFT training events and resources
Following the core values of ICEEFT, EFT Trainers seek opportunities to support the development of EFT Centers and Communities through innovation, collaboration and promotion in the best interests of EFT practitioners. As ambassadors and administrators of the EFT model, trainers seek opportunities to actively collaborate with other trainers and EFT communities to promote the development of EFT knowledge globally and locally. This open and cooperative consultation respects the substantial effort and investment of all trainers and community organizers and reflects the collaborative and generous nature of the EFT model.
