Couples Therapy
Couples therapy seeks to provide couples with a neutral, warm and safe space to unpack the challenges they are experiencing in their relationship. Couple sessions aim to ensure that both partners feel heard and that each person’s emotional and psychological experience is acknowledged and validated.
The strategies developed in sessions are designed to meet the needs, and respect the values and boundaries, of both partners. Couple Therapy can help with communication issues, navigating difficult life events or transitions, differences in approaches to parenting, the impact of external relationships, sexual issues, and recovery from affairs and other forms of betrayal.
Couples’ sessions can also be a valuable tool for developing strategies to allow for amicable separation, particularly if there are children involved.
Our psychologists have training in the following couple-focused therapies:
- Gottman Couples Therapy,
- Behavioural Couples Therapy,
- Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT-C).
