Marriage Counselling / Couples Therapy

Understanding Couples Counselling

Couples counseling offers a safe place for couples to explore their difficulties and relationship patterns and learn new ways of relating to each other. Our counsellors have extensive training and experience in marriage counselling and couples therapy, specifically Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). In couples counseling, EFT guides partners through the intricate landscape of their relationship dynamics with empathy and insight to help couples forge deeper emotional bonds, navigate conflicts, and cultivate lasting intimacy.

How Does Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Work?

EFT operates on the premise that distressed couples often experience negative cycles of interaction fueled by unmet attachment needs and underlying emotions such as fear, insecurity, or longing for closeness. Through a collaborative and structured process, EFT helps couples identify and reframe these negative patterns, fostering greater emotional responsiveness and bonding.

Benefits of Couples Therapy

Enhanced Communication: EFT helps couples develop more open, honest, and empathetic communication, leading to greater understanding and intimacy.

Conflict Resolution: By addressing underlying emotions and attachment needs, EFT equips couples with the tools to navigate conflicts constructively and find mutually satisfying resolutions.

Renewed Connection: Through the process of EFT, couples often experience a renewed sense of connection, closeness, and trust, laying the foundation for a more fulfilling and resilient relationship.
