Our Approach

We use proven therapeutic methods to guide couples through difficult times. Our goal is to help you build a healthier relationship by addressing issues and developing strategies for positive change.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

CBT helps couples recognise and change negative thought patterns that affect their behavior and relationship. This approach promotes more effective communication and conflict resolution.

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method comes from research. It aims to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen partnerships. It focuses on enhancing emotional connection and resolving disagreements.

Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT)

IBCT helps couples accept each other’s differences and manage conflicts in a healthy way. This approach focuses on understanding and supporting each other through relationship challenges.

How Couples Therapy Works

Couples treatment usually consists of a set of sessions you and your partner will work with a therapist to:

1. Assess the Relationship: The therapist will help you both identify the key issues affecting your relationship.
2. Set Goals: You and your partner will agree on goals for therapy, ensuring you’re aligned on what you want to achieve.
3. Apply Therapeutic Techniques: Your therapist will utilise proven methods, such as EFT or CBT, to guide you through addressing your issues.
4. Learn New Skills: Your relationship will be better after therapy because you’ll learn how to talk to each other and solve problems.
5. Ongoing Support: The therapist will help you develop strategies to maintain your improvements and navigate future challenges.
