Understanding Relationship Challenges.

Couples may seek counselling for many reasons, including:

  • Frequent arguments or unresolved conflicts
  • Feeling disconnected, unheard or unappreciated
  • Differences in parenting, money, intimacy or values
  • Rebuilding trust after a breach or betrayal
  • Adjusting to life transitions such as parenthood, career changes or loss

Relationship difficulties don’t mean failure. They signal that the relationship needs attention, care and new ways of working together.

How Therapy Helps.

At Unbound Minds, we use evidence-based approaches, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which is considered the gold standard in relationship counselling, alongside other proven frameworks.

Support can include:

  • Improved Communication Skills: Learning to listen with empathy and express needs clearly.
  • Conflict Management: Turning arguments into opportunities for growth rather than cycles of hurt.
  • Rebuilding Trust: Practical steps to restore safety and connection after breaches.
  • Strengthening Friendship and Intimacy: Reconnecting with the positive core of the relationship.
  • Shared Goals and Vision: Helping couples realign around values and build a stronger future together.

Counselling is tailored to each couple’s unique situation. Our psychologists are trained to hold space for both partners while guiding the

Your Questions, Answered.

Relationships can bring joy, connection, and support - but they can also face stress, conflict, or distance over time. Many couples wonder whether counselling can really help, what happens in sessions, and how it might change their relationship. At Unbound Minds, we provide a safe and structured space for couples to explore challenges and strengthen their connection.

How does Unbound Minds support couples in counselling?

We use evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help couples improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild trust. Sessions are tailored to your goals as a couple and focus on practical strategies that can be applied between sessions.

Do you only work with couples in crisis?

No. Some couples come when they are facing serious challenges, but many seek counselling to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, or prepare for future transitions. Counselling can be helpful at any stage of a relationship.

What happens in a couples counselling session?

Sessions usually involve both partners, though individual check-ins may also occur. Together, we identify patterns of communication, explore areas of conflict, and practise new ways of relating. The therapist guides the process so conversations remain constructive.

What if one of us is more willing than the other?

This is common. Counselling can still work if one partner is hesitant. Our role is to create a balanced space where both voices are heard and respected, without taking sides.

Can therapy help if trust has been broken?

Yes. Rebuilding trust takes time and effort, but counselling can provide tools and guidance to support that process. We help couples explore what led to the breakdown, what is needed for healing, and how to rebuild safety and connection.
