When to consider
Couples therapy is helpful if you and your partner feel stuck in negative communication patterns, are facing frequent conflict, struggling with intimacy, recovering from betrayal, or simply want to strengthen your connection.
Modalities used
Therapists often use Emotion-Focused Therapy (to identify and heal emotional patterns) and CBT (to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours).
Session length & frequency
Sessions run 60–75 minutes, usually once a week or bi-weekly. The number of sessions depends on the issues being addressed and the couple’s goals.
Benefits
You’ll learn to listen and communicate more effectively, reduce conflict, rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, and work as a team. Couples often report feeling closer, more respected, and better able to handle challenges together.
