I think a better term for this would be relationship counselling. When we talk about couples we usually mean a romantic couple, but it can also mean two siblings, a parent/child, or even two friends who are struggling with their connection. Whatever configuration your “couple” takes, if you are seeking therapy around it, it is because it is important to you. Love so often gets buried in untold stories, repressed needs, and personal insecurities. We all long to connect with each other , be accepted for who we are by those we love and yet often we don’t know how to give or receive love because we were never taught.

My approach to couples therapy is to provide a safe space for partners to really hear and see each other, so they may connect better. I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and will use these helpful tools to help you build a more robust relationship. This involves identifying the vicious communication cycles that may be getting in the way and disrupting the entrenched feedback loop that is causing the disconnect.
