Toronto’s Leading Destination for Couples Counselling
Helping couples across Ontario to rebuild trust, repair communication, and rediscover connection with expert, evidence-based relationship therapy.
Couples often seek therapy when repeated conflict, emotional withdrawal, or a breakdown in trust begins to feel unmanageable. Some are navigating the aftermath of trauma, infidelity or ongoing resentment; others feel lost in cycles of disconnection and don’t know how to find their way back.
Therapy provides structure, perspective, and support during what can be one of the most difficult, and most transformative, times in a relationship.
At Landed Therapy, couples counselling is designed to identify and change the relational patterns that maintain conflict and disconnection. Through Psychodynamic Therapy, EFT, and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), we support partners in repairing trust, improving communication, and restoring emotional and physical closeness.
Couples therapy can support you if you’re:
Experiencing frequent conflict or recurring arguments
Feeling emotionally disconnected or unheard
Recovering from infidelity or struggling to rebuild trust
Contemplating separation or unsure whether to stay together
Managing parenting stress, or life transitions
Wanting to improve communication and deepen intimacy proactively
Whether you’re facing acute conflict or working toward healthier patterns, couples therapy creates a confidential, and structured environment to improve understanding and support meaningful relational change.
During our work together you can expect…
-
Rebuild trust and repair emotional injuries following conflict, betrayal, or infidelity
-
Improve communication, learning to express needs clearly and listen with empathy
-
Reduce reactivity and understand triggers using emotion-focused and somatic awareness tools
-
Strengthen emotional and physical intimacy, creating safety and renewed closeness
-
Interrupt negative cycles and replace criticism, defensiveness, or withdrawal with connection
-
Navigate separation or uncertainty with clarity, compassion, and professional guidance
-
Develop healthier boundaries that support mutual respect and autonomy
-
Rediscover teamwork, shared meaning, and a sense of stability within your partnership
Couples therapy provides a calm and supportive environment where both partners can better understand their own reactions and each other’s needs, turning conflict into opportunities for genuine connection.
What to Expect in Couples Therapy
Finding the right couples therapist in Toronto can feel overwhelming. At Landed Therapy, we keep the process structured and goal-oriented so you know exactly what to expect from the start.
-
We begin with a short call to discuss your concerns, goals, and ensure the right therapeutic fit.
-
Both partners meet together to share what brings you in and outline the main challenges. We begin identifying key themes and therapy goals.
-
Each partner may have one individual session to explore personal history, emotional patterns, and family context. This helps your therapist understand each partner’s background before continuing joint work.
-
We focus on de-escalating conflict, improving communication, and rebuilding safety and trust. Sessions provide structured guidance and practical strategies to support real-time change.
-
As therapy continues, couples typically experience less reactivity, clearer communication, and greater emotional stability. We finish by developing a plan to maintain progress outside sessions.
Using Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Landed Therapy offers an evidence-based and directive approach to strengthening connection and rebuilding resilience in your relationship.
Couples Therapy Can Help If…
Every relationship moves through periods of tension or disconnection. Couples counselling at Landed Therapy supports partners in both crisis and growth, from those working to rebuild after a rupture to those who simply want to strengthen their foundation.
You may benefit from therapy if you’re experiencing:
Ongoing conflict, criticism, or defensiveness that never seems to resolve
Emotional distance or feeling more like roommates than partners
A recent crisis, separation, or high-conflict dynamic that feels unmanageable
Infidelity, betrayal, or loss of trust that has damaged safety and connection
Frequent miscommunication, withdrawal, or emotional shutdown
Feeling unsupported, unseen, or emotionally dismissed by your partner
Loss of physical or emotional intimacy and affection
Feelings of resentment, burnout, or having “lost yourself” in the relationship
Difficulty staying calm or grounded during disagreements
Wondering whether to repair, separate, or redefine the relationship
Couples therapy provides a structured, evidence-informed approach to help you understand your dynamic, repair trust, and move forward with clarity, whether that means staying together or separating with care.
