Couples Counselling
What Is Couples Counselling
Couples counselling is a collaborative process where both partners meet with a trained therapist to explore the patterns, dynamics, and emotional needs within the relationship. It’s a space to untangle stuck communication, understand each other more deeply, and work through conflict in healthier, more productive ways.
At Silver Thread Counselling, we use evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment-based frameworks to help you strengthen your connection, rebuild trust, and create the kind of relationship you both want to be in.
Whether you’ve been together for years or are just starting out, couples therapy can help you reconnect—and grow together.
Is Couples Counselling Right for Us?
You don’t need to be on the brink of separation to benefit from therapy. Many couples come to counselling simply because they want things to feel better—more connected, more supportive, more aligned.
You may benefit from couples counselling if…
You’re having the same argument over and over again
Communication often turns into conflict—or avoidance
One or both of you feels unheard, resentful, or emotionally distant
Intimacy feels harder to access—emotionally, physically, or both
Trust has been broken, and you’re unsure how to repair it
You’re navigating a big life change (moving, kids, loss, career shifts)
You love each other but feel like you’re on different pages
What You Can Gain from Couples Therapy
A deeper understanding of each other’s needs, fears, and triggers
Practical tools to communicate clearly and kindly—even during conflict
More emotional safety, intimacy, and connection
Repaired trust and renewed sense of partnership
The ability to face challenges as a team, not adversaries
