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.
Relationship distress is one of the most common reasons couples seek therapy. Many partners reach out when communication has broken down, conflict escalates quickly, or emotional distance has replaced closeness. Others are coping with infidelity, loss of trust, or uncertainty about separation, and need guidance to determine the healthiest path forward.
At Landed Therapy, our couples counselling and marriage therapy in Toronto focuses on identifying and transforming the underlying dynamics that sustain disconnection. Using Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), we help partners reduce conflict, rebuild trust, and restore emotional and physical connection.
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, financial strain, or life transitions
Wanting to improve communication and deepen intimacy proactively
Whether your relationship is in crisis or simply ready for growth, therapy provides a structured, confidential space to foster understanding and meaningful change.

-
Rebuild trust and repair emotional injuries following conflict, betrayal, or infidelity

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 provides an evidence-based, directive approach to restoring connection and resilience in your relationship.
Couples Therapy Can Help If…
Every relationship faces periods of tension, or disconnection. Couples counselling at Landed Therapy supports partners in both crisis and growth, from those struggling to rebuild after 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 offers a structured, evidence-based process to help you better understand what’s happening between you, rebuild trust, and move forward with clarity and purpose — together or apart.
