Counselling for Couples

Most couples don’t struggle because they don’t love each other — they struggle because they feel unheard, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in the same painful patterns again and again. Over time, misunderstandings turn into distance, communication becomes tense or defensive, and small issues begin to feel bigger than they are. You may feel disconnected, frustrated, lonely within the relationship, or unsure how to repair after arguments.

 

Many couples come in saying things like: “We’re stuck in the same cycle,” “We love each other but can’t communicate,” “We feel like roommates,” “We want to reconnect but don’t know how.” Couples counselling helps you break these patterns, rebuild emotional safety, and restore the closeness you both want.

IFS for emotional insight and healing

We help you understand the “parts” that show up during conflict — the reactive part, the hurt part, the protective part. When both partners feel seen, understood, and safe, communication naturally softens and connection deepens.

​

EFT For emotional insight and resolving conflict

EFT helps couples break out of negative patterns like shutting down, withdrawing, or escalating. We guide you toward new emotional experiences that make your relationship feel secure, supported, and bonded again.

​

Gottman Method for practical tools that work

From communication tools to conflict management strategies, we use Gottman’s research-backed techniques to help you reduce defensiveness, interrupt cycles, and rebuild trust and friendship.

​​​​​

​

  • Communicate clearly without defensiveness

  • Feel more connected and emotionally supported

​
