Whether your relationship is on the verge of ending or you want to address negative patterns early, we can help you reconnect and rediscover why you chose each other.
As specialists in working with couples in conflict, we understand your concerns and the pain you’re feeling. We listen to both of you and work gently and proactively to improve your relationship.
Others may repeatedly talk to friends or family about their issues, but this can reinforce negativity and create more distance with their partner.
All relationships have ups and downs, but constant conflict can take a toll on your emotional and physical health. Putting on a façade or harbouring resentment won’t help.

Perennial problems—it’s how they deal with them that makes the difference.
Among the techniques designed to improve couples’ issues, research shows that Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples is highly effective. Originating in Canada, it is now an internationally respected modality.
Many of our practitioners are also trained in John and Julie Gottman’s couples counselling techniques, refined at their Gottman Institute in Seattle. These two approaches form the backbone of our programs, and you can read more about them on our How Can We Help You page.
In your first sessions, your therapist will meet with both of you together, then have an individual session with each of you. During these initial three sessions, they will assess your unique couple issues.
