Couples Therapy
Couples, Relationship & Marriage Therapy
You can’t prevent the drift. It’s natural. But you can notice when the distance between you gets too big, and you can know how to pull each other back. Couples therapy can help with that.
Couple therapy is challenging. It is hard enough to immerse yourself in and make sense of the internal world of one person, let alone two.
Going to couples therapy or counselling is often seen as a last resort, something you only do when your relationship is on the brink of collapse. But what if couples made therapeutic interventions a regular part of their relationship maintenance?
Just as we go to the gym to keep our bodies fit and healthy, couples therapy can help to keep our relationships in shape. In couples therapy, couples can learn how to communicate effectively, resolve conflict constructively, and understand and empathize with their partner’s perspective.
Often, just making these small changes can profoundly impact the quality of a relationship. So if you’re looking to improve your relationship, why not try couples therapy? It just might be the best decision you ever make.

What We Might Learn in Couples Therapy
Relationship counselling can provide much-needed support during times of stress or crisis. Therapy can be an invaluable tool for couples who are committed to improving their relationship.
When You Should Seek Relationship Therapy
- Escalating conflict and nasty communication habits is damaging relationships.
- Emotional distance and loneliness.
- When trust and commitment issues arise, such as difficulty relying on a partner or not putting each other's well-being on par with one another, it can be hard to maintain a healthy relationship.
- Feeling unsupported and emotionally dismissed.
- Conflicts can arise in parenting styles that differ.
- Untreated anxiety and depression issues can complicate the relationship.
- Partners who grew up in difficult childhood environments may have difficulty trusting their partners or staying engaged during conflict.
Can Your Relationship Succeed in Therapy?
There’s no definitive answer to how successful couples therapy will be. Successful couples therapy requires the active participation of both partners and will be determined by each individual’s desire to work hard, learn new skills, and stay invested in the process.
