Relationship & Couples Therapy
Relationship & Couples Therapy
Relationships can experience many challenges over time. Communication may become difficult, conflict can feel repetitive or overwhelming, and partners may begin feeling unheard, disconnected, or emotionally distant. Stress, past experiences, betrayal, or unresolved hurts can also impact the way couples relate to one another. Relationship therapy provides a supportive space to better understand these patterns, strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and create the kind of relationship you both want moving forward.
Affairs & Betrayal
Affairs & Betrayal
Experiencing betrayal or infidelity can feel deeply painful and destabilising, often leaving both partners feeling hurt, uncertain, and disconnected. While recovery after betrayal can feel overwhelming, many couples are able to rebuild trust, repair emotional connection, and create stronger relationships with appropriate support. Therapy can help couples process the impact of the betrayal, improve communication, rebuild safety and trust, and develop healthier relationship patterns moving forward.
Intensive Couples Therapy
Intensive Couples Therapy
Intensive Couples Therapy (sometimes called Marathon Couples Therapy) is an immersive approach designed to help couples create meaningful movement in a shorter period of time.
This format allows couples to deeply explore relationship challenges, strengthen understanding, and build new communication and connection skills through focused, extended sessions.
Many couples experiencing significant distress, ongoing conflict, or time limitations choose intensive therapy because it can create momentum and sustained change more quickly than traditional weekly therapy
alone.
Trauma Recovery
Trauma Recovery
Trauma can significantly impact emotional connection, communication, trust, and feelings of safety within relationships.
Whether trauma occurred recently or earlier in life, unresolved trauma experiences can continue to affect both individuals and couples in important ways.
With compassionate, trauma-informed support, it is possible to heal from traumatic experiences while strengthening your relationship. Therapy can help partners better understand one another’s experiences, improve communication, and rebuild emotional closeness and safety.
Neurodivergence: Autism & ADHD
Neurodivergence: Autism & ADHD
Neurodivergence can bring many strengths to relationships, including creativity, passion, deep focus, unique perspectives, and authenticity. At the same time, differences in communication styles, sensory needs, emotional processing, routines, or executive functioning can sometimes create a misunderstanding or disconnection within relationships. Bonnie provides neurodivergent-affirming support for couples where one or both partners experience Autism, ADHD, or other forms of neurodivergence.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a highly respected, evidence-based approach to relationship therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman following more than four decades of relationship research. Through observing thousands of couples over many years, the Gottmans identified the patterns associated with relationship success, emotional connection, and long-term stability. The Gottman Method focuses on strengthening three core areas of a relationship:
- Friendship and emotional connection
- Helpful conflict management
- Shared meaning, values, and purpose
The approach integrates emotional, cognitive, behavioural, and practical strategies to help couples improve communication, deepen intimacy, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection over time. Gottman Method Couples Therapy has been researched across diverse couples and relationship structures, including LGBTQ+ couples.

Individual Therapy for Relationship Problems
Individual Therapy for Relationship Problems
If you would like support with your relationship but your partner is unwilling or unable to attend couples therapy, Individual Therapy for Relationship Problems may be an appropriate alternative.
This approach focuses on helping you better understand relationship patterns, strengthen
communication skills, manage emotional responses, and create meaningful changes within your relationships, even when attending individually.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is one of the leading evidence-based treatments for PTSD and trauma recovery. CPT was specifically developed to support individuals who have experienced traumatic events.
The therapy focuses on identifying and gently working through the thoughts and beliefs that may keep people feeling stuck in trauma-related distress.
Dating or Navigating a New Relationship
Dating or Navigating a New Relationship
Beginning a new relationship can feel exciting, hopeful, and meaningful, especially when you want something different from past experiences. At the same time, old patterns, attachment wounds, or communication habits can sometimes reemerge without us fully realising.
Therapy can help you better understand your relationship patterns, emotional needs, and
attachment style so you can build healthier, more secure, and more fulfilling relationships moving forward.
Processing a Relationship Break-Up
Processing a Relationship Break-Up
Relationship breakups can feel deeply painful and emotionally overwhelming, often bringing grief, confusion, self-doubt, anger, or loneliness.
Therapy can provide a supportive space to process the impact of the relationship, better understand relationship patterns, and make sense of your experiences with greater clarity and self-compassion. This process can support healing, rebuild self-worth, and help reduce the likelihood of repeating painful relational patterns in the future.
