Couples Therapy in Barrie: Build a Stronger Connection
Compassionate couselling to help you and your partner navigate challenges and deepen your bond.
What is Couples Therapy? How is it Different from Pre-marital Counselling?
Specializing in Pre-Marital and Marriage Counselling.
At Anew Counselling & Therapy we know every couple is different and will come to us with unique needs. In a nutshell, couples therapy (or marriage counselling) typically aims to address existing relationship issues, like communication breakdown, trust ruptures, and loss of intimacy. Premarital counselling focuses on preparing couples for marriage by exploring values, expectations, and potential conflict areas. We are passionate about building stronger, healthier relationships in Barrie and across Ontario
All varieties of couples counselling are about working together to understand and overcome challenges. Whether you’re facing recurring conflicts, navigating a difficult transition, or seeking to deepen your intimacy, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals.
Therapeutic Approaches for Couples
Gottman Method
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on building strong foundations of friendship, intimacy, and trust. It provides practical tools and strategies for improving communication, managing conflict effectively, and deepening your connection.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is a powerful approach to couples therapy that explores the emotional patterns underlying relationship challenges. It helps you and your partner identify and transform negative cycles, fostering deeper understanding, empathy, and secure attachment.
