Looking for a couples therapist in Moncton, relationship counselling in Gander, or virtual couples counselling in Atlantic Canada?
Everest Therapeutics provides couples and relationship counselling in Moncton, New Brunswick and Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, with virtual couples therapy available across New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Ontario, depending on therapist registration.
Our team includes therapists with specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. Our couples therapists also draw from Gottman-informed approaches, attachment-based therapy, trauma-informed therapy, Imago relationship therapy, and sex and intimacy therapy.
Whether you're struggling with communication, experiencing the same conflict repeatedly, rebuilding trust, feeling emotionally or physically disconnected, or simply wanting a stronger relationship, couples counselling can help you better understand what's happening between you.
EFT-Trained Couples Therapists
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an attachment-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on the emotional patterns underlying relationship distress.
Several Everest therapists have completed additional training in EFT and couples therapy.
Rather than focusing only on communication techniques or deciding who is right or wrong, EFT helps couples understand the cycle they become caught in and the emotions, attachment needs, and protective responses underneath it.
You may recognize a pattern where one partner pursues conversation while the other withdraws, where small disagreements quickly escalate, or where both partners feel increasingly unheard and disconnected.
Couples therapy can help shift the focus from “you versus me” to understanding the pattern happening between you.
What Can Couples Counselling Help With?
Couples come to therapy for many different reasons, including:
Communication problems
Repeating arguments or conflict
Emotional disconnection
Difficulty feeling heard or understood
Rebuilding trust
Infidelity or relationship betrayal
Intimacy and sexual concerns
Differences in desire
Parenting and family stress
ADHD or neurodivergence in relationships
Trauma affecting the relationship
Attachment and relationship patterns
Major life transitions
Separation or uncertainty about the relationship
Resentment
Difficulty setting boundaries
Strengthening an otherwise healthy relationship
You don't need to wait until your relationship is in crisis to start couples counselling.
Our Approach to Couples Therapy
Relationships are complex, which is why we don't believe there is one approach that works for every couple.
Our therapists primarily draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) while integrating other evidence-informed relationship approaches according to the needs of each couple.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps couples identify the emotional and attachment patterns underneath recurring conflict and disconnection.
The goal is to create greater emotional safety, responsiveness, and connection between partners.
Gottman-Informed Couples Therapy
Gottman-informed approaches can provide practical strategies for communication, conflict management, friendship, emotional connection, and understanding recurring relationship patterns.
Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy
Past trauma can influence how we experience safety, closeness, conflict, vulnerability, and trust within relationships.
Our trauma-informed therapists consider how previous experiences may be affecting the relationship while avoiding the assumption that one partner is simply the problem.
Imago Relationship Therapy
Imago-informed approaches can help couples explore how previous experiences and relationship patterns influence present-day reactions, needs, and conflict.
This can help partners develop greater understanding of both themselves and each other.
Sex & Intimacy Therapy
Some of our therapists have additional training related to sex, intimacy, and couples therapy.
Counselling can provide a respectful and non-judgemental space to discuss emotional and physical intimacy, differences in desire, communication about sex, changes in connection, and other relationship concerns.
Why Do We Keep Having the Same Argument?
One of the most common reasons couples seek counselling is feeling caught in the same fight over and over again.
The topic may change, but the emotional pattern underneath it often stays remarkably similar.
One partner may pursue, criticize, question, or push for resolution while the other becomes defensive, shuts down, withdraws, or tries to avoid further conflict.
Over time, both people can begin to feel misunderstood and alone.
EFT-informed couples counselling helps you slow this cycle down and understand what is happening underneath the argument so that you can begin responding differently to one another.
Couples Therapy for Communication Problems
Good communication isn't simply about learning the right words.
When couples feel hurt, rejected, criticized, ignored, or unsafe, even well-intended conversations can quickly become difficult.
Couples counselling can help partners understand how they communicate during moments of stress, identify recurring patterns, and develop new ways of expressing needs and responding to one another.
Couples Therapy After Infidelity or Broken Trust
Relationship betrayal can significantly affect trust and emotional safety.
Couples may seek therapy after infidelity, secrecy, broken agreements, or other experiences that have changed how safe the relationship feels.
Couples counselling can provide a structured space to understand what happened, process its impact, improve communication, and explore whether and how trust can be rebuilt.
Therapy isn't about forcing forgiveness or determining whether a couple should stay together. It provides space to understand what each partner needs and determine what moving forward may look like.
ADHD & Neurodivergence in Relationships
ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence can influence communication, emotional regulation, household responsibilities, organization, intimacy, and how partners interpret each other's behaviour.
Everest Therapeutics includes therapists with specialized ADHD training and certification as well as neurodivergent therapists.
Couples counselling can help partners understand these differences without reducing relationship difficulties to blame or assuming that one person's neurodivergence is the problem.
