    Learn more about therapists practising Couples therapy

    What is couples therapy?

    Couples therapy, also known as marriage counselling, is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving the relationship between partners. It involves a trained therapist who works with couples to resolve conflicts, establish more honest communication, and strengthen their bond. At It's Complicated, our team of experienced therapists specialises in providing couples therapy to address various relationship challenges. The practice of couples therapy will vary depending on the therapist’s approach, but oftentimes couples therapy involves a focus on a specific problem (e.g. jealousy, sexual difficulties, infidelity) and change-oriented interventions early on in the process. It's Complicated offers couples therapists with many different approaches and backgrounds such as behavioural couples therapy, psychodynamic, CBT or Jungian.

     

    How couples therapy works 

    Couples therapy at It's Complicated utilises evidence-based techniques to promote effective communication and collaborative problem-solving. During a typical couples therapy session, the therapist creates a safe and supportive environment where both partners can openly express their thoughts and feelings. The therapist helps the couple identify behaviour patterns, explore underlying emotions, and develop strategies for constructive conflict resolution. Through structured sessions, couples will over time learn to communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and deepen their connection. Our built-in video tool allows sessions to occur between the couples therapist and two participants in different locations, facilitating therapy for long-distance relationships or partners who are currently separated.

     

    How to know if couples therapy is right for you

    Considering couples therapy demonstrates a proactive approach to improving your relationship. In fact, many couples today meets with a therapist not only when they are about to break up or end a relationship or marriage, but as a way to grow and develop as a couple. At It's Complicated our professional therapists offer a supportive environment for couples to explore concerns and work towards solutions. Whether facing communication challenges, trust issues, or feeling disconnected from your partner, our relationship counsellors provide practical tools and guidance to support your relationship journey. Find an experienced therapist today from the It's Complicated community that can help you and your partner improve and grow in your relationship.
