Couples Counselling
Our clinic offers two types of couples counselling, Imago and Gottman.
Imago Relationship Therapy
Imago Relationship Therapy is a transformative approach to couples counselling that focuses on turning conflict into opportunities for healing, connection, and personal growth. Rooted in the understanding that unresolved childhood experiences often resurface in adult relationships, this therapy helps partners identify and address their “core issues” in a safe and structured environment.
Using techniques like the Imago Dialogue, couples learn to communicate with empathy, listen without defensiveness, and deepen their emotional intimacy. The process encourages each partner to explore how early relational patterns influence current dynamics, fostering mutual understanding and compassion.
At Canberra Psychology Clinic, our therapists offer Imago Relationship Therapy to couples seeking to strengthen their bond, navigate challenges, and build more fulfilling partnerships. Whether you’re facing recurring conflict or simply want to enhance your connection, our team is here to support your journey.
Gottman Method
Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a research-based approach to strengthening relationships, developed by renowned psychologists Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Grounded in decades of observational research, this method focuses on building a resilient foundation for couples by improving communication, managing conflict constructively, and deepening emotional connection.
Key components of the Gottman Method include enhancing friendship and intimacy, fostering mutual respect, and creating shared meaning within the relationship. Couples learn practical tools to navigate disagreements, express appreciation, and support each other’s individual growth—all within a structured, supportive therapeutic framework.
At Canberra Psychology Clinic, our therapists offer Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help partners reconnect, resolve challenges, and build lasting, fulfilling relationships. Whether you’re navigating a rough patch or simply want to strengthen your bond, our team is here to guide you.
