Relationships can feel deeply painful when the same patterns repeat despite best intentions. Many couples seek therapy not because they don’t care, but because they feel stuck, caught between conflict, distanced from each other, or uncertainty about how to move forward together.
We work with couples who are experiencing emotional disconnection, ongoing conflict, trust ruptures, or strain related to major life transitions.
Our approach to couples therapy is structured, compassionate, and emotionally focused. Rather than concentrating only on surface-level communication skills, we explore the deeper emotional needs, attachment patterns, and relational dynamics that shape how partners relate to one another. This work helps couples slow down, rebuild emotional safety, and respond to each other in more meaningful and supportive ways. Sessions provide a balanced space where both partners are heard, understood and supported.
We work with couples to address concerns related to:
communication breakdowns and recurring arguments
emotional distance, loneliness, or loss of intimacy
trust issues, including emotional or physical infidelity
life transitions such as relocation, immigration, career stress, or parenthood
high emotional reactivity or frequent escalations
uncertainty about the future of the relationship
Our work with couples is primarily emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) informed, with a strong focus on attachment, emotional safety and the patterns that keep couples stuck. We integrate EFT principles with elements from multiple evidence-based couples therapy models, allowing the work to be tailored to each couple’s unique needs, cultural context, and relational goals. This integrative approach allows for both emotional depth and practical support—helping couples better understand one another, reduce reactivity, and build more secure, responsive, and resilient relationships.
We also support couples where one or both partners are neurodivergent, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other forms of neurodiversity. These relationships often involve unique strengths, as well as challenges related to communication differences, emotional regulation, sensory sensitivity, executive functioning, or mismatched expectations around closeness and independence. We support couples in developing shared understanding and effective communication, while honouring neurological and relational differences.
