A space to work through it, together
Your relationship story is your own — some of this may still feel familiar
Reaching out isn't a sign of failure. It can be a sign that your relationship still matters.
Support for whatever you’re navigating
Communication that keeps failing
The same fights, the misreadings, and conversations that turn into conflict.
Disconnection & distance
Feeling more like roommates than partners, and drifting quietly apart.
Trust, betrayal & repair
Rebuilding after an affair, a breach of trust, or old hurts that still linger.
Intimacy & desire
Reconnecting emotionally and physically when closeness has faded.
Recurring conflict cycles
The pursue-withdraw loop, escalation, and arguments that never quite land.
Change as a couple
Parenting, blended families, careers, and transitions that test the relationship.
Warmth, honesty, and room for both of you
Erica brings an integrative, attachment-informed approach to couples counselling, grounded in professional training, curiosity, and respect for each partner’s experience.
Sessions are not about deciding who is right or wrong. Both partners have space to be heard and understood, while patterns that may contribute to hurt, distance, or disconnection can be explored honestly and with care.
The aim is to create room for greater understanding of yourself, your partner, and your relationship, while exploring what you each want moving forward.
A calm, structured space for both of you
Sessions are a steady space where both partners are heard. We slow down the cycles that keep repeating, and anything that’s causing harm is named gently but clearly, so those patterns can be explored rather than simply repeated.
Rather than relying on a single method, Erica draws from a range of evidence-based approaches, with practical tools for communication, repair, and reconnection you can use between sessions.
Approaches and principles that may inform the work:
A thoughtful, integrative approach
Erica draws from evidence-based and attachment-informed approaches to couples therapy, adapting the work to the needs, experiences, and goals of each relationship.
Her work draws on principles from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based approaches, and Relational Life Therapy, alongside broader therapeutic perspectives including ACT, mindfulness, nervous-system awareness, and Compassionate Inquiry®.
Rather than following a single formula, sessions may incorporate insight, practical tools, and deeper exploration of the patterns that shape how partners communicate, connect, protect themselves, and respond to one another.
A balanced and practical space, centred on your relationship.

Couples counselling FAQs
What if my partner won’t come?
Both partners need to participate willingly to engage in couples counselling. If only one partner wants counselling, individual counselling is the better place to start. Erica won’t begin couples work with one partner and bring the other in later, as that would introduce bias.
What is the Gottman Method?
Will you take sides?
Can it help if we’re thinking about separating?
Couples counselling can also provide a place to explore whether you want to work toward reconnection or consider separation. The goal isn’t to steer you toward either outcome, but to support thoughtful conversation, greater understanding and clarity about what comes next.
Is couples counselling appropriate for every relationship?
Not always. Suitability is assessed individually. Where there are concerns about coercion, control, violence, abuse or safety, couples counselling may not be appropriate, and individual or other appropriate support may be recommended instead. The free 15-minute consultation helps us understand what will best support you.
Is what we share confidential?
Yes. Sessions are private and confidential, subject to the limits of confidentiality required by law and professional ethics.
