“Conflict doesn’t have to mean the end—it can mean the beginning.”
What is Couples Counselling?
Every relationship has its ups and downs. Couples counselling is a space designed to help you and your partner strengthen your connection, work through challenges, and create healthier ways of relating to one another. It isn’t about “taking sides” or deciding who’s right or wrong—it’s about building understanding, improving communication, and supporting both partners in feeling heard and valued.

Where Couples Often Need Support
Trust Issues
When trust feels broken, it can leave you questioning your partner and feeling disconnected. Couples counselling can help rebuild safety, honesty, and closeness so you can move forward together.
Communication Struggles
When every conversation turns into an argument—or nothing gets said at all—it can leave both partners frustrated and distant. Couples counselling can help you listen, be heard, and connect in healthier ways.
Conflict Resolution Struggles
Avoiding conflict or feeling stuck in constant arguments can create distance and tension. Couples counselling can help you address issues constructively, communicate effectively, and resolve disagreements without hurting your connection.
Divorce, Separation, & Re-Marriage
Transitioning through a breakup or blending lives in a new relationship can bring challenges, uncertainty, and emotional stress. Couples counselling can help you navigate these changes, improve communication, and build healthier connections moving forward.
Pre-Marital Counselling
Preparing for marriage is exciting, but it can also bring questions and uncertainties. Pre-marital counselling helps couples explore expectations, communication styles, and potential challenges so you start your marriage with understanding, connection, and confidence.

Our Treatment Approach
At Evergreen Therapeutics, our couples counselling approach is integrative, meaning we tailor it to meet the unique needs of your relationship. We draw from proven methods like The Gottman Method, which helps couples strengthen communication, manage conflict, and build friendship and intimacy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on deepening emotional connection and creating a sense of safety and trust between partners.
Our goal is to help you not just survive the challenges in your relationship, but thrive together. We provide practical tools, guided conversations, and a supportive space where both partners feel heard and understood. Whether you’re facing communication struggles, trust issues, or just want to grow closer, our approach helps couples reconnect, rebuild, and move forward with confidence.
The Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach that helps couples communicate better, manage conflict, and strengthen their connection. In sessions, you’ll learn practical tools, guided exercises, and strategies to rebuild trust, increase intimacy, and feel closer as a couple. It’s commonly used for communication struggles, trust issues, repeated arguments, and emotional disconnection.
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps couples better understand the patterns within their relationship and how their emotions influence their interactions. In sessions, you’ll explore underlying needs, learn to respond to each other with empathy, and create secure, lasting bonds. It’s commonly used for emotional disconnection, repeated conflicts, and intimacy or trust challenges.
Couples Counselling FAQs
How do I know if couples counselling is right for us?
If you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in conflict, struggling with trust or intimacy, or just want to strengthen your relationship, counselling can help. Couples at any stage—from pre-marriage to long-term partnerships—can benefit.
What happens in a session?
Sessions include guided conversations, exercises, and practical strategies tailored to your relationship. You’ll explore patterns in your dynamic, learn new ways to communicate, and work toward solutions together in a safe, neutral space.
How long does couples counselling take?
Every relationship is different. Some couples see progress in a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support over several months. We focus on measurable growth and creating skills you can use long after counselling ends.
Will one of us be “blamed” in counselling?
No. Counselling is about understanding patterns, improving communication, and strengthening connection—not assigning blame. Both partners are supported equally.
Do we need to attend together?
For most couples counselling, attending together is ideal, but individual sessions can also be useful. We tailor the approach to what’s best for your relationship.
