Talking Cure

Relationships are where we’re most seen — and sometimes most hurt.

Even strong relationships can go through difficult seasons. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in cycles of conflict, or facing a major transition, couples therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and begin relating to one another in new ways.

Therapy isn’t about deciding who’s right or wrong. It’s about understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface — in each of you, and between you — and learning how to communicate, respond, and reconnect with more clarity and care.

We work with couples in all kinds of partnerships and at all stages of life: new parents, long-term partners, blended families, and couples navigating separation or repair. Whatever your context, you’ll be met with thoughtfulness, respect, and a desire to help both of you feel heard.

Who Is This For?

Couples therapy may be helpful if you’re experiencing:

  • Repeated conflict or arguments that go nowhere
  • Emotional distance, disconnection, or loneliness within the relationship
  • Infidelity, breaches of trust, or betrayal
  • Difficulty communicating clearly or feeling understood
  • Struggles with intimacy, sex, or affection
  • Differences in parenting, priorities, or direction
  • Big life transitions (becoming parents, relocating, career shifts, etc.)

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. Many couples come to strengthen what’s working, deepen their connection, or make space for more honesty and growth.

What We Offer

You’ll work with a therapist trained in relationship dynamics, emotional regulation, and trauma-informed approaches. The goal is not to “fix” either partner, but to shift the pattern between you — so that something new becomes possible.

Depending on your needs, sessions may focus on:

  • Understanding recurring conflict cycles and emotional triggers
  • Improving communication, empathy, and emotional safety
  • Exploring past wounds that affect how you relate in the present
  • Rebuilding trust after a rupture
  • Navigating sexual disconnection or unmet needs
  • Co-parenting dynamics or blended family challenges
  • Clarifying shared values, goals, or difficult decisions

Some of our couples therapists also draw on frameworks such as:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
  • Imago Therapy
  • Psychodynamic couple work
  • Attachment theory and systems-based perspectives

Several of our clinicians also provide clinical supervision for other professionals, and bring a depth of experience to working with complexity, power imbalances, and trauma within relationships.

What to Expect

When you first get in touch, we may offer a brief phone or email consultation to understand what’s going on and connect you with the right therapist.

In the first session, your therapist will work with you both to understand your relationship history, what’s been difficult, and what you’re hoping for. You won’t be asked to “perform” your conflict or rehash arguments — therapy is a space to slow the pattern down and make space for something new.

You can expect:

  • Sessions tailored to your relationship and goals
  • A therapist who remains neutral and supportive of both people
  • A pace that respects both emotional safety and honest conversation
  • Space to name and explore vulnerable topics without judgement
  • A process that can evolve over time, with regular reflection and feedback

There’s no pressure to commit long term — many couples come for a few sessions, while others stay for deeper, ongoing work. You decide what’s helpful.

Fees

  • Couples session fee: $207 (incl. GST)
  • Appointment times available from 7am – 8pm
  • Sessions typically run for 50 minutes
  • Some therapists may offer extended sessions if needed

Confidentiality

Everything shared in couples therapy is treated with care and discretion. Your therapist will also clarify how confidentiality works when working with two people — and how they handle situations where private disclosures arise.
