Couples counselling and therapy
We offer online couples counselling to help you and your partner navigate challenges, improve communication, and strengthen your relationship.
Why consider couples counselling?
Whether you’re dealing with ongoing issues or just want to enhance your connection, online therapy offers a flexible and supportive option for couples to work through difficulties together. We work with couples of all types, including dating, cohabitating, and married couples.
Couples therapy is a space where both partners can share their feelings, express concerns, and work together with a therapist to improve their relationship. Your therapist will help you identify patterns in your communication and behaviour, and provide tools to build healthier, more effective ways of interacting. Couples therapy does not offer a magical wand but instead, gives you the opportunity to explore the dynamics of your relationship, understand each other’s needs, and develop strategies for conflict resolution and deeper emotional connection. Sessions are a safe, neutral space for both partners to be heard, and your therapist will guide the conversation in a way that fosters respect, understanding, and collaboration. Whether you’re navigating issues such as trust, intimacy, or conflict, couples therapy can help you build a stronger bond and grow together.

We offer video counselling for couples
For couples who want an interactive experience, live video counselling provides a face-to-face connection with your therapist, similar to an in-person session. This format allows you to see and interact with your partner as well as the therapist, creating a more dynamic, engaging experience. A reliable internet connection is essential for video sessions.
Our Couples Therapy Process: A Journey of Understanding and Connection
We understand that every relationship has its ups and downs. Our couples therapy process is designed to help you and your partner navigate challenges, strengthen your connection, and build a healthier, more fulfilling relationship. Here’s what you can expect when you start therapy with us:
Connecting and Building Trust: Starting the Conversation
The first step in therapy is creating a safe, open space where both partners feel heard and understood. During this initial phase, we take time to listen to both of your perspectives, understand your concerns, and build a trusting relationship. This is where we start to establish a sense of partnership in the therapy process, so you both feel comfortable and supported.
Exploring Your Story: Understanding the Challenges
In this phase, we dive deeper into the dynamics of your relationship—how you communicate, the patterns you’ve developed, and what’s contributing to the issues you’re facing. This is where we get a clear picture of both your individual experiences and the shared experience of your relationship. We’ll explore both the strengths and the areas that need attention, so we can understand what’s working and what needs to change.
Setting Goals Together: Creating a Vision for Your Relationship
Couples therapy is about moving forward, and that begins with clear, shared goals. We’ll work together to set goals that reflect what you both want for your relationship. Whether it’s improving communication, rebuilding trust, or learning how to resolve conflict, these goals will guide our work together and give you both a roadmap for the changes you want to see.
Working Through Challenges: Building New Skills and Solutions
This is where we roll up our sleeves and begin to put in the work. With your goals in mind, we’ll explore effective strategies and tools to address the challenges you’re facing. From learning healthier ways to communicate to practicing conflict resolution and emotional intimacy, couples therapy is all about building new skills and finding solutions that fit your relationship. We’ll guide you in creating lasting change by teaching you practical tools and helping you apply them in real life.
Reflecting and Adjusting: Checking in on Progress
Throughout therapy, we’ll regularly pause to reflect on how things are going. Are you both feeling heard? Are the strategies we’ve introduced working? What’s improving and what still needs attention? We’ll evaluate your progress and adjust our approach as needed to make sure we’re on track toward your goals. This is a dynamic and collaborative process, and we’re committed to helping you find the best way forward.
