Are you and your partner facing challenges in your relationship?

Whether you’re dealing with communication issues, infidelity, or simply want to improve your connection, Rivonia Therapy Centre is here to help.

Our couples therapy services are designed to support you and your partner to build a stronger, healthier relationship.

What Is Couples Therapy?

Couples therapy, or marital or relationship counselling, is designed to help partners understand and resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their relationships.

Our experienced therapists use various methods to help you and your partner better understand each other and your relationship.

Why Might You Need Couples Therapy?

You might wonder if couples therapy is right for you and your partner. Here are some common reasons couples seek therapy:
  • Communication
  • Problems
  • Infidelity and Betrayal
  • Trauma and Abuse
  • Relationship Difficulties
  • Premarital Counselling
  • Marital Counselling
If any of these challenges resonate with you, couples therapy can provide the support and tools needed to address them.

How Does Couples Therapy Work?

Couples therapy sessions create a safe and supportive environment where both partners can express their thoughts and feelings. Here’s what you can expect:

In the first session, your therapist will get to know both of you, understand your relationship dynamics, and discuss your goals for therapy. After that, each session will focus on addressing specific issues, improving communication, and developing strategies to strengthen your relationship.

The therapist will guide the conversation, helping you both to understand each other better and work towards resolving conflicts. Therapy sessions are confidential, and the therapist will ensure that both partners feel respected and heard.

What Techniques Do Our Therapists Use?

At Rivonia Therapy Centre, our therapists employ a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique relationship needs, including:
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT): Helps you and your partner identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that affect your relationship.
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Focuses on improving emotional connection and understanding between partners.
  • Gottman Method: Uses research-based techniques to enhance relationship stability and satisfaction.
  • Imago Relationship Therapy: Encourages partners to understand each other’s childhood influences and how they affect current behaviours.
  • Systemic Therapy: Looks at the relationship within the context of the more extensive family system and its dynamics.
These techniques are designed to help you and your partner build a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
