- Anger issues
- Unresolved conflict
- Recent trauma
Couples counselling is as unique and individual as each couple is.

How Couples Counselling Helps
Couples counselling offers a valuable space for partners to explore the complexities of their relationship in a supportive, guided environment. Through individual and joint sessions, couples gain a deeper understanding of their own needs, communication styles, and underlying patterns that contribute to conflict.
Our counsellors strive to equip couples with practical tools and strategies for effective communication, conflict resolution, and rebuilding trust. By fostering open dialogue and active listening, counselling helps partners reconnect on an emotional level, rediscovering the intimacy and joy they once shared.
Whether addressing specific challenges such as infidelity, parenting disagreements, or intimacy issues, or simply seeking to strengthen your overall relationship, couples counselling can pave the way for a more fulfilling and harmonious future together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is couples counselling important? Couples counselling can help you and your partner identify and overcome conflict, improve your dynamic, and increase intimacy to function better as a couple and as individuals.
How effective is couples counselling? The success of your couples counselling depends on several factors, including how open to therapy you and your partner are and what you consider success. While some couples may be seeking a simple resolution to their issues, others may be striving for a healthier relationship overall.
What type of therapy is most effective for couples? In most cases, talk therapy and the Gottman Method, a series of nine research-based exercises, are the most effective ways for couples to overcome challenges and strengthen their relationship. That said, our therapists use a variety of methods tailored to each couple’s needs, including CBT, Imago, sensate-focused, and emotionally-focused counselling, to ensure goals are met.
How can my partner and I tell if couples counselling is working for us? If you and your partner find yourselves listening instead of arguing, treating each other more affectionately, or considering each other’s feelings, it’s likely that your counselling sessions have been making a difference in your relationship.
