Couples Therapy in Hong Kong

Many couples come to therapy to be proactive in strengthening and nurturing their relationship. Therapy helps couples improve communication, deepening emotional connection, and navigating life transitions as a team to build a strong, healthy foundation. You don’t have to wait till things become overwhelming or broken to seek help. 

Couples come to therapy for many different reasons. Common concerns include communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, recurring conflicts, differences in parenting styles, boundaries with extended family, trust issues, healing after infidelity, fertility challenges, the transition to parenthood, intimacy concerns, and navigating cultural or value differences. 

Couples therapy typically starts with an assessment session to get to know each partner, their relationship history and what they’re hoping for from therapy. Subsequent sessions focus on identifying and breaking negative communication patterns, repairing after fights, developing healthier ways of responding to one another, and building consistent relationship tools. Couples therapy is a collaborative, supportive process in a safe space to help each couple build a strong, fulfilling relationship where they feel seen and valued. 

The length of therapy varies depending on each couple’s needs and goals. Many couples find that 8–12 weekly sessions provide meaningful and lasting change. Some couples also benefit from a Couples Intensive, which is a more focused and immersive format, with sessions lasting 3–6 hours, allowing for deeper exploration and accelerated progress.

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, fighting about the same thing again and again, or struggling to navigate life transitions together, couples therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to break unhealthy patterns, heal from past hurts, and deepen your emotional connection. 

While couples therapy is ideal, individual relationship counselling can still be very beneficial. It allows one partner to better understand their own emotions and needs, change unhealthy communication and get more clarity on how to move forward. It is important to work with an individual therapist with a strong relational background with a good understanding of the limitations of working with one partner at a time.

Yes. Many people feel nervous about starting therapy or worry that the therapist will take sides or place blame. A 15‑minute complimentary consultation offers a chance to ask questions, learn about the  therapy process, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit. It’s a low‑pressure way to explore your options and take the first step at your own pace. 

We integrate two approaches that really resonate with me—and with the couples I work with:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Therapy Method.

EFT helps couples understand the deeper emotions that drive their predictable negative patterns. The Gottman Method offers practical, research-based tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen friendship. Our hope is to empower couples to build a relationship where they feel seen and valued.
