Our Evidence-Based Frameworks

How Couples Therapy Works
Initial Assessment
We begin with an accurate, comprehensive joint oral assessment to discover exactly what is happening in the relationship and target what you both look to achieve.
Individual & Online Care
You will be invited to complete a secure online digital assessment. We also hold private individual sessions so your personal views, goals, and core concerns can be safely explored.
Ongoing Joint Sessions
We arrange structured joint sessions utilizing interactive, experiential methods. This allows you and your partner to actively practice and master new communication skills in a supportive room.
Lasting Results
Achieve long-term results by practicing structured, proven approaches. This builds a sustainable foundation for dealing with complex relational issues that are a natural part of all partnerships.
