Couples Counselling

Couples Counselling in Springfield

Developing supportive intimate relationships is one of the most important areas of our life. When couples struggle, we often feel frustrated and scared that our best efforts have failed to improve the situation.  Our professional and caring psychologists at Unify Health have the benefit of extensive training in research-based approaches to couples therapy that can help you to achieve your relationship goals.

Deeksha Chopra works with couples using the evidence-based approach of Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) which was developed by Dr John and Julie Gottman based on 40+ years of extensive research.

Why Choose Unify Health for Couples Counselling?

Our experienced therapists are trained in the Gottman Method, a scientifically-backed approach to improving relationships. Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this method focuses on enhancing communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering intimacy. Conveniently located in Springfield, we proudly serve couples in the Greater Springfield area and beyond.

What is Gottman Method Couples Therapy?

The Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) is based on over four decades of research into what makes relationships work. This structured approach focuses on:

• Strengthening the foundations of friendship and mutual respect.

• Enhancing positive communication and managing conflict effectively.

• Building a shared sense of purpose and deeper connection.

• Rebuilding trust and intimacy where needed.

How Couples Counselling Can Help You

Couples counselling is beneficial for relationships at all stages—whether you’re looking to improve communication, navigate a crisis, or deepen your emotional bond. Our therapists use the Gottman Method to provide actionable strategies that help you:

• Resolve recurring conflicts constructively.

• Strengthen your emotional and physical intimacy.

• Develop a deeper understanding of your partner’s needs and feelings.

The Process of Couples Counselling

Couples counselling with Unify Health begins with an in-depth assessment of your relationship. This includes exploring your relationship history, identifying strengths, and understanding areas of difficulty. From there, we create a customised therapy plan using Gottman Method principles, which may include:

• Building a Love Map: Understanding your partner’s world, values, and aspirations.

• Turning Towards: Recognising and responding to bids for connection.

• Conflict Management: Transforming disagreements into productive discussions.

• Creating Shared Meaning: Establishing rituals, goals, and values that strengthen your partnership.
