Why Us?
Experienced Clinicians
Our clinicians have over 60 years of collective experience working with couples! They have all been highly trained and have undergone additional and specialist training for couples therapy.
Thorough Assessment
A thorough assessment process is critical for any type of therapy. At Us, we pride ourselves on our comprehensive assessment processes. This is particularly important considering it takes a couple approximately 6 years to seek couples therapy to overcome their challenges.
Intervention
Intervention work begins with the couple following the feedback session. This is mostly conducted in couples however there may be the occasional need for an individual session.
Our Holistic & Personalised Approach
At Us, we have seen hundreds of couples and we recognise that each couple is unique. Our approach is tailored to the couple but always includes customised treatment plans and integrative techniques. Our marriage counselling and couples therapy cliniciansn draw from various therapeutic models to create a holistic approach that best suits you and your partner.
Our goal is for all our couples to function well without our support and inputs. We want to equip our couples such that they recognise their unhelpful patterns and can engage in more fruitful and nourishing behaviours instead. The aim is for our couples to have the insights and skills they need to have a strong, happy and long lasting relationship.
Knowing When to Seek Help
Every romantic relationship will face difficulties and conflicts at some point. Disagreements are normal and can even be a healthy part of the relationship. However, the issues arise when a couple seems to be unable to agree increasingly on multiple occasions. Not all couples need to attend couples therapy, however, even couples who are not in conflict and decide to see a couple’s therapist may see benefits and improvements within their romantic relationship. They can learn how to understand each other better and how to make a better team while navigating together through life.
Some of the reasons, purely to give you an idea, why some couples look to speak to a qualified therapist are below:
Frequent conflict / arguments
Poor communication
Emotionally distanced couples that are close to separating
Specific issues: e.g. sexual, infidelity, money, or parenting
This is not an exhaustive list, and everyone comes in with their unique reasons or simply as a prevention or out of curiosity.

Our Couples & Marital Therapy Options
Pre-Marital Counselling
Pre-marital counselling involves supporting couples prior to their marital journey. Some examples cna include when couples didn’t grow up with the best support system and role models and hence want to start their marriage on the right foot. It aims to crate effective communication and understanding.
Couples Therapy (Gottman Method)
The Gottman method addresses numerous aspects of a relationship such as conflict, shared meaning, closeness and more. The process involves understand the couple together and individually to find the best and most optimal plan for their unique relationship, to understand what will work best to achieve their personal and combined goals as a couple.
Marriage Counselling
It is a form of couples therapy which emphasises improving communication and connection, reducing ineffective conflict helps married couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance emotional intimacy. The work may need addressing specific issues like infidelity, financial stress, or parenting conflicts which are unfortunately common.
Divorce Counselling
Divorce therapy is often done to aid couples in exploring, resolving and recognising conflicts in hopes to understand whether either partner would like a divorce and how to proceed with the divorce. It is effective too for partners to discuss their family, communication and allocation of time with their family.
Marathon Couples Therapy
Marathon therapy is a model based on Gottman’s Model which uses a number of longer sessions – four to six hours to kick start therapy. The sessions are used to connect more deeply and resolve deep more problematic patterns of relating, infidelity or injuries that have been impacting the relationship.
