Message from the Australian Institute of Emotion Focused Therapy (AIEFT) Board
​The AIEFT would like to pay tribute to our founder, Melissa Harte, who died last Wednesday, 3rd February 2021. Melissa was an extraordinary human, Counselling and Clinical Psychologist, psychotherapist, supervisor, trainer, mentor, and friend. She has left an enormous legacy, having transformed the lives of many through her therapeutic work and inspired a community of Emotion Focused Practitioners in Melbourne. Melissa developed the Extended Focusing Task as an approach for working with past trauma and is the author of 'Processing Emotional Pain using Emotion Focused Therapy' (2019). She will be remembered for her incredible warmth and seemingly endless energy for the promotion of Emotion Focused Therapy. The AIEFT sends condolences to Melissa's family at this time.

Message from the International Society for Emotion Focused Therapy (isEFT) Board
The members of the Board of isEFT wish to express their deep sadness on the death of Melissa Harte, an International Trainer with the Australian Institute for EFT in Melbourne, Australia. Melissa was an esteemed and cherished colleague. She will be remembered for her energy, dedication, and enthusiasm as she worked to build an EFT Institute in Australia, sharing the approach widely with colleagues and clients. EFT as an approach and the International Organisation grew stronger with her contributions. Her presence among us will be missed in the years to come but her legacy and memory will live on. Our sincere condolences to her family and friends.
