What Is Couples Therapy?

Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy focused on helping partners understand each other more deeply, resolve conflict, and foster a more secure and fulfilling relationship. It supports couples of all backgrounds—married or unmarried, new or long-term, and across all orientations.

Therapy may focus on communication, intimacy, trust, emotional closeness, major life transitions, or long-standing patterns that cause distress. The goal is clarity, connection, and sustainable change.

How Couples Therapy Works

Our clinicians use evidence-based, goal-oriented methods tailored to each couple’s unique needs, including:

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
    Helps partners understand emotional needs, reduce reactivity, and form a more secure bond.
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
    Identifies thought and behaviour patterns that contribute to conflict and helps create healthier interactions.
  • Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
    Focuses on strengths, shared goals, and practical steps to build a stronger partnership.

  • Imago Relationship Therapy
    Improves communication by helping partners understand unmet childhood needs, deepen empathy, and reduce reactive patterns.

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy
    Uses research-based strategies to strengthen friendship, manage conflict, repair trust, and enhance long-term relationship stability.

Therapy typically begins with a joint intake session to understand the relationship’s history, strengths, and challenges. Depending on your goals, sessions may be conducted jointly or include occasional individual meetings to support clarity and progress.

Who Can Benefit?

Couples therapy can support a wide range of relationship concerns, including:

  • Frequent arguments, miscommunication, or feeling unheard

  • Emotional distance or loss of connection

  • Sexual or physical intimacy issues

  • Infidelity, trust issues, or recovery after an affair

  • Stress, anxiety, or depression affecting the relationship

  • Adjusting to major life transitions (marriage, parenthood, relocation)

  • Blended family or co-parenting challenges

  • Cultural, religious, or family-of-origin differences

  • Preparation for commitment or premarital support

  • Navigating separation with respect and clarity

You don’t need to wait for a crisis—therapy can help strengthen your relationship at any stage.
