We primarily use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which is one of the most researched and effective approaches for couples. EFT has over 30 years of research showing 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery. We also draw on Gottman Method principles for communication skills, conflict resolution, and rebuilding trust after betrayal.

Most couples begin seeing meaningful changes within 8-12 sessions. The full course of EFT typically takes 16-24 sessions, depending on your goals and the depth of issues you're working through. Some couples continue with periodic check-ins after completing the initial work. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your free consultation.

Yes, virtual couples therapy is highly effective and often more convenient. Both partners can join from the same location or from different places. Many Burlington couples prefer virtual sessions for the flexibility and privacy. We offer secure, PHIPA-compliant video sessions across Ontario.

Yes, for several reasons. Couples therapy can help you understand what went wrong, communicate more clearly about your future, and make a decision from a place of clarity rather than conflict. Even couples who ultimately separate often find therapy helps them do so more amicably, especially when children are involved.

Yes, marriage counselling is one of our most requested services. Our Burlington therapists work with married couples on communication breakdowns, trust issues, intimacy concerns, parenting conflicts, and major life transitions. We also offer premarital counselling using the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment for couples preparing for marriage.

The terms are often used interchangeably. Couples therapy tends to focus on the emotional patterns and attachment dynamics keeping you stuck, while marriage counselling often refers to practical skill-building for communication and conflict resolution. Our therapists do both, drawing on EFT and Gottman Method depending on what you need.
