No two couples are the same so neither should their treatment be. Your therapy plan is personalised to each of your personalities, relationship history, and shared goals. This helps us target your exact needs and maintain long-lasting results
Before we begin therapy, we conduct structured psychological assessments to understand each partner’s needs, communication patterns, and conflict styles. This helps us build a therapy plan that’s based on insight, not guesswork.
We’re not here to judge or take sides. Our role is to help you both feel safe, understood, and respected. We guide the conversation so each partner’s voice is heard and the focus stays on making progress.
We assess and review your progress over time. You’ll both get clarity on what’s working, what’s changing, and how you’re moving forward as a couple, not just as individuals in therapy.

“My partner and I had reached a point where we just couldn’t agree on anything anymore. I almost gave up on us and I was sure we will get divorced. But Ms. Lovleena has been a real angel. She somehow managed to help us communicate better again and talk like we used to back in college when we first started dating. In fact her techniques have worked so well that we are closer than ever before.”
“We started therapy after a breach of trust that neither of us knew how to move past. It was a tough transition but betterplace helped us get through. Ms Ayushi and Ms Lovleena were especially helpful throughout our journey!”
“My husband and I were going though such a rough patch. He is a working individual and i am too. We didnt have enough time to talk about each other or how we were growing older.

Couples Therapy is a supportive space where partners work together with a trained therapist to improve their relationship. It is aimed at improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening the relationship between partners. It provides a safe, neutral space for both individuals to discuss their concerns, identify patterns in their interactions, emotional distance, and work together with care and clarity towards building a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.
There are several proven ways to approach couples therapy. Our team chooses the method that best fits your specific situation.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): This is one of the most researched methods. It focuses on the bond between partners. It helps you understand the deep emotions and patterns that cause you to feel disconnected.
The Gottman Method: This approach is very practical. It focuses on building a strong foundation of friendship. It gives you concrete skills to handle conflict and increase physical and emotional intimacy.
Cognitive Behavioural Couples Therapy (CBCT): This method looks at how your thoughts affect your actions. You will learn to identify negative thought patterns that hurt the relationship and replace them with more positive and healthier ones.
Psychodynamic Couples Therapy: This style looks at how your past experiences and childhood shape your current behaviour. It helps you understand why you or your partner react to certain situations in specific ways.
Relationships, no matter how strong, go through ups and downs. Communication issues, trust issues, misunderstandings, or simply growing apart emotionally are all common struggles.
Couples therapy is designed to help partners navigate these challenges in a productive and positive way. It can also be helpful for couples looking to improve their connection, intimacy, and emotional support for each other.
Couples often seek therapy when they:
Therapy isn’t only for times of crisis; it’s also a powerful tool for prevention, connection, and growth.
Therapy offers more than just a way to stop fighting. It can change the entire tone of your household.
Deeper Connection: You will likely feel more in sync with your partner. This often leads to more fun and playfulness in the relationship.
Clearer Communication: You will learn to ask for what you need without making your partner feel attacked. This reduces the need for defensiveness.
Stronger Trust: Therapy provides a safe place to heal from past hurts. It helps you rebuild a sense of safety and honesty with each other.
Personal Growth: Improving your relationship often helps you as an individual. Many people find they become more confident in their jobs and social lives after starting therapy.
Research shows that couples therapy has high success rates. For example, studies on Emotionally Focused Therapy show that most couples see significant improvement that lasts for years. Therapy is effective because it provides a neutral space where both people feel heard. Even if your partner is not ready to join yet, you can still start the process on your own. Learning how to change your own reactions can often shift the entire dynamic of the relationship.
Couple Therapy rests on a set of core principles that guide partners towards a healthier, more connected relationship. These principles help you understand each other better, communicate with clarity, and work as a unified team.
The core principles include:
Improving Communication: Healthy communication helps partners learn to express their needs and feelings clearly and respectfully. It also teaches active listening, where each person truly hears and understands the other before responding, avoiding blame, criticism, or defensiveness.
Building Emotional Connection: Deepens emotional intimacy and trust between partners. The partners are encouraged to be vulnerable with each other and show empathy, which strengthens their emotional bond.
Identifying Feelings: Many couples struggle to name what they are actually feeling. We help you find the right words so your partner can truly understand your perspective.
Exploring Your History: We may look at your personal history to see if old wounds are affecting your current relationship. This helps in resolving deep issues that keep coming back.
Solution Focused Work: While we talk about problems, we also spend a lot of time on what is working. We help you set goals and find clear steps to reach them.
New Skills Training: You will learn practical techniques for daily life. This includes things like active listening, using “I” statements, and knowing when to take a break during a heated argument.
Teamwork: Therapy supports you as a unit, not opponents. It increases the extent to which both partners view the relationship as objective, dyadic, and contextualised, rather than one-sided and blaming.
Non-Judgmental Space: In Couple Therapy, a non-judgmental space allows each partner to express their thoughts and emotions without fear of blame or criticism.
Conflict Resolution Skills: Helps partners navigate conflict in a healthier way—such as taking time-outs during heated arguments, using “I” statements, and learning to compromise.
Rebuilding Trust: Couple Therapy provides a space to process the hurt caused by distressing events and begin healing. This includes open communication, accountability, and creating new agreements that support honesty and safety.
Commitment to Growth: Encourages personal responsibility and openness to change, with both partners actively participating.
In Couple Therapy, a licensed therapist or counsellor facilitates open, honest conversations.
This includes:
Initial assessment of both partners individually: We will begin by understanding the challenges the couple is facing, starting with an intake session for both partners.
Psychological evaluation of both partners: Individual psychological assessment will be conducted for each partner to understand their individual concerns. Assessments will help elicit clinical symptomatology and current maladaptive patterns of interaction, coping and behaviours that affect the relationship and will help in a holistic treatment of both the
partners.
Involvement of the informant: Active participation from a close informant (such as a family member or spouse) may be required during assessments, which may include interviews. This deepens our understanding of individual behavioural patterns and personal development.
Addressing mental health conditions: If one or both partners are dealing with a clinical condition (such as depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns), the focus of therapy may shift, and the approach for individual and Couple Therapy might differ.
Goal setting: The couple and therapist work together to identify what they want to achieve in therapy.
Active psychotherapeutic intervention:
A. Individual sessions for each partner
B. Conjoint couple sessions: The therapist will introduce tools and strategies to help improve communication, resolve conflict, and build a deeper emotional connection. Therapy homework for couples fosters growth by turning insight into action; it helps clients apply skills, build self-awareness, and stay engaged between sessions. It’s a key tool for creating lasting change beyond the therapy room. The sessions will usually be once a week, lasting about 90 minutes.
Ongoing support: Therapy may continue for a set number of sessions or longer, based on the couple’s needs. Both partners attend together (with occasional individual check-ins if needed).

Not at all. Couples therapy isn’t just for conflict or crisis. Many couples come in to improve communication, feel more connected, or navigate big life changes like marriage, parenting, or relocation.
The first session usually involves an intake session with both partners to understand your current concerns. After that, individual assessments may be scheduled to get a deeper understanding of each partner’s emotional and psychological landscape.
No. A couples therapist focuses on the relationship, not on choosing one partner over the other. The goal is to help both of you understand each other better rather than decide who is right or wrong.
Mostly, yes. Your therapist may take one or two individual sessions at the start to understand each partner’s perspective more clearly, but the majority of the work happens together.
That’s very common. Therapy can feel scary if you expect blame or conflict. Sometimes one partner starts therapy and the other joins once they feel more comfortable. A short introductory session can also help ease that hesitation.
It depends on your goals. Some couples see improvement within a few sessions, while others need longer support to work through deeper issues.
Yes. What you share stays between you and your therapist. Individual assessment results or personal information are not shared with your partner without your consent.
