How our couple therapists can help you build a strong & healthy relationship ?
Deepen Intimacy & Connection
When one or both partners are dissatisfied with the relationship, feeling of intimacy and connection can suffer. At Viable Mindset, we put special emphasis on helping couples bring back the spark in the relationship and reconnect on a deeper level.
Get an Unbiased Perspective
Your therapist can listen, empathize and give you an unbiased honest opinion. This new perspective will help you see your relationship from a different angle. Your counsellor will ensure that both partners feel heard.
See Each Other Perspective
Often when couples experience conflicts over a long period of time, it can seem impossible to see the other partner’s perspective. Your therapist will bridge the two sides while allowing each partner to have a voice.
Improve Communication
Improving communication is essential to improving the relationship. We teach our clients new communication skills. One of the skills is how to share one’s emotional needs and how to respond in kind with care and compassion. With these newly acquired skills it is inevitable your relationship will improve provided both partners practice those skills.
Learn New Coping Strategies
It can be difficult to navigate the relationship when one or both partners experience stress, anger, depression, anxiety, or trauma. Our experienced psychologists will walk you step by step on how to effectively deal with your individual challenges. At Viable Mindset, we provide you with unique services where we offer you and/or your partner both individual and couple counselling.
Restore Trust & Commitment
Trust and commitment are the foundation of any intimate relationship. Our couples counsellors will create a safe space for you and your partner to learn to be there for one another in difficult moments. We will help you to rebuild a relationship that is based on these principles.

Top 4 reasons why couples seek relationship counselling
Communication Problems
Couples who struggle with communication often experience repetitive and ongoing conflicts. Unhealthy communication can lead to feeling disconnected from your partner. Some of the signs of communication problems include, not feeling heard, feeling misunderstood, and feeling hurt. An experienced relationship therapist will guide you to open the lines of communication, teach you important skills such as active listening, understanding your partner’s perspective, and providing partner validation.
Lack of Intimacy
Partners often complain of being deprived of physical intimacy and this can cause emotional turmoil. Sex and physical intimacy are major components of any healthy relationship. Physical intimacy includes but is not limited to hugging, kissing, and cuddling. Your couples counsellor will help you build new behaviours and routines that will bring you closer to each other. You will learn how to be more vulnerable with your partner, better communicate your needs, and be more playful. These skills will improve your overall intimate relationship.
Betrayals and Affairs
Betrayal in a relationship can be an incredibly traumatic and painful experience. Betrayal can take different forms including sexual infidelity, emotional, and financial cheating. It can shatter the reality of the betrayed person and leave the betrayer feeling ashamed and unable to admit their faults. It is possible for couples to heal and even come out stronger provided both partners are willing to put in the work. Therapy can be instrumental in helping you restore trust and move forward in the relationship.
Mental Health Issues
Mental health issues not only impact the individual but also their family and loved ones. When your partner is experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction or some other disorder, it can take a toll on both you and your other relationships. At Viable Mindset, we provide you with an opportunity to work on both individual and couples issues with the same therapist. We teach you effective strategies to deal with your partner’s mental issues. Together with the right guidance, we make it possible for your partner and your relationship to recover.
