What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy is when participants in a relationship meet with a therapist to talk through their relationship dynamics. The reasons a couple may choose therapy can vary, including sex therapy, pre-marital counselling, relationship changes, intimacy therapy, sexual communication training, sexual dysfunction, and more.
Couples therapy often includes regular meetings with a registered psychotherapist who talks through the concerns of the couple, using emotion-focused techniques and holistic approaches.
Consider Having a Positive Relationship With Yourself
Many couples think that couples therapy is a negative thing. But it’s not – couples therapy is just like personal therapy. Talking through concerns, conflicts, or changes with a professional can be helpful and enlightening for everyone.
Even if you or the relationship do not have any “known” issues, you can use couples therapy to learn more about you and your partner, their sexual desires, their communication style, develop a deeper connection before marriage, or rekindle the spark after years together.

Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships
Every day, we hear of relationships failing and questions of whether humans are meant to be monogamous. LOVE SENSE presents new scientific evidence that tells us that humans are meant to mate for life. Dr. Johnson explains that romantic love is an attachment bond, just like that between mother and child, and shows us how to develop our “love sense”–our ability to develop long-lasting relationships. Love is not the least bit illogical or random, but actually an ordered and wise recipe for survival. LOVE SENSE covers the three stages of a relationship and how to best weather them; the intelligence of emotions and the logic of love; the physical and psychological benefits of secure love; and much more. Based on groundbreaking research, LOVE SENSE will change the way we think about love.
Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love
Heralded by the New York Times and Time magazine as the couple therapy with the highest rate of success, Emotionally Focused Therapy works because it views the love relationship as an attachment bond. This idea, once controversial, is now supported by science, and has become widely popular among therapists around the world.
In Hold me Tight, Dr. Sue Johnson presents Emotionally Focused Therapy to the general public for the first time. Johnson teaches that the way to save and enrich a relationship is to reestablish safe emotional connection and preserve the attachment bond. With this in mind, she focuses on key moments in a relationship-from Recognizing the Demon Dialogue to Revisiting a Rocky Moment-and uses them as touchpoints for seven healing conversations. Through case studies from her practice, illuminating advice, and practical exercises, couples will learn how to nurture their relationships and ensure a lifetime of love.
