Counselling approaches offered
We offer 2 approaches for couples counselling, or otherwise called marriage therapy.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), offered by William Fernandes, Amy Garis, Judy Davidson, Liz Weston in-person, and Jenny FitzGerald via Zoom.
- Gottman Couples Therapy, offered by David Blyth
Both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Couples Therapy are highly respected, evidence-based approaches to strengthening relationships. Here’s how they compare to help you decide which may be best for you and your partner.
Consider Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) if:
Note that EFT blends Attachment Theory, Systemic Thinking, and Trauma-Informed Care
✔ You and your partner feel emotionally disconnected or struggle with trust and past hurts.
✔ You need deeper emotional healing, not just tools for better communication.
✔ One or both of you have childhood wounds or attachment issues affecting your relationship.
✔ You’re open to an initial assessment phase (typically 1-3 sessions) to understand your needs before starting active therapy.
Consider Gottman Couples Therapy if:
✔ You and your partner are highly motivated and looking for practical relationship skills.
✔ Your challenges are not deeply rooted in past trauma or emotional wounds.
✔ You prefer a structured, step-by-step approach with clear strategies.
✔ You’re prepared for an initial assessment phase (typically 4-5 sessions) to gain deep insights before starting active therapy.
