Couples_Therapy

Every relationship goes through challenges, particularly when conflict, distance, or broken trust become overwhelming.

COUPLES SESSIONS CAN HELP YOU:
 

  • Rebuild intimacy and trust after disconnection or betrayal

  • Strengthen healthy communication & conflict repair so arguments don’t spiral

  • Heal from infidelity or breaches of trust

  • Deepen emotional closeness when you feel distant or misunderstood

  • Navigate separation or divorce with clarity and compassion

  • Manage parenting and family dynamics (blended, new-formed, or long-term families)

  • Understand trauma, attachment patterns, and shared values

  • Find meaning and connection through life’s stages, including grief, loss, or the empty nest transition
    ​​​

​​​

​Benefit: Couples leave with tools to stop the cycle of blame or disconnection, break through recurring arguments, and rediscover the emotional safety needed to repair and thrive together.​​​

Therapeutic Approaches​

​​​

To ensure sessions meet your specific needs, I integrate a wide range of evidence-based therapies, including:

​

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Transactional Analysis (TA)

  • Non-Violent Communication (NVC)

  • The Gottman Method

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS - unblending from parts of Self that have been exiled or managed to protect painful wounds or trauma)

  • Gestalt Therapy (exploring the here-and-now experience of self and others)

  • Systems Theory

  • Attachment Theory

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

What Client's Say

Working with Melissa has truly been transformative for our relationship. We came to her feeling disconnected and stuck, unsure of how to move forward. From the very first session, she created a safe space where we could openly share our thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Melissa guided us through difficult conversations and taught us tools to improve our communication and rebuild trust. Her compassionate, insightful approach helped us better understand each other’s needs and perspectives.

Thanks to her support, we’ve grown closer than ever, and our relationship feels stronger and more connected. We’re so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to any couple seeking to reconnect and grow together.
