Couples Therapy - Good Vibes Clinic

Couples therapy (also known as relationship therapy and/or marriage counselling), is a specialised form of psychotherapy designed to help couples navigate challenges, improve communication and strengthen connection. The primary goal of couples therapy is to foster a safe and supportive environment for couples to explore and address any concerns, understand their own and their partners relational needs and vulnerabilities, and offer tools and strategies to foster connection and couple growth.

common topics covered in couple sessions:

  • Communication breakdown

  • Infidelity and loss of trust in the relationship

  • Desire discrepancy: differing levels of sexual desire within your relationship

  • Finding time for sex and intimacy in your relationship

  • Loss of spontaneity and excitement in your sexual relationship

  • Sexual need and fantasy discrepancies

  • Sexless relationships

  • Internet (online) infidelity including sexting, picture exchanges etc.

  • Alternative relationship lifestyles (including polyamory, swinging, monogamish, swapping etc.)

  • Kink and fetish

  • Maintaining an intimate partnership when you have children

  • Speaking to children about sex, sexuality and sexual safety

  • Fertility counselling

  • Pre-marriage counselling

  • Other couple concerns including finances, work-life balance, raising children etc.

While couples therapy is commonly sought during times of crisis, it can also serve as a preventative measure, helping couples build a strong foundation for long-term connection. Couples sessions (whether for short- or long-term therapy) provide space to reflect, unpack and work through issues, with the goal being to end couples therapy with the confidence and skills to address couple issues independently.

If you are interested in couples therapy but your partner is not at this stage open to therapy (this is not uncommon) you can schedule an individual sessions to discuss your intentions and concerns and couples sessions can commence at any time.

Good Vibes Clinic is a multi-therapeutic practice and therapy incorporates therapy styles including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gottman Method (Couples Therapy), Eye Movement Desensitisation Therapy (EMDR), as well as takeaway activities (home-work) to ensure fast and cost-effective treatment options.
