Couples Therapy in Peterborough

In Peterborough, a vibrant community known for its balance of small-town warmth and active lifestyles, couples often find it challenging to stay emotionally connected through life’s transitions. Between busy work schedules, parenting demands, and personal stress, communication can easily become reactive or strained.

Couples therapy offers a supportive space to explore these patterns, understand one another again, and rebuild trust. Whether you’re struggling with ongoing conflict or feeling distant, therapy helps partners reconnect with compassion and clarity.

For many couples, underlying anxiety, depression, or stress and burnout contribute to communication struggles. Therapy addresses both the relationship dynamic and the emotional wellbeing of each partner.

How Therapy Can Help

At Tiny Therapy Collective, we use evidence-based approaches tailored to your relationship goals:

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps partners build emotional safety and empathy.

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Increases awareness of unhelpful patterns and teaches constructive alternatives.

• Gottman Method: Strengthens communication, trust, and friendship.

• Solution-Focused Therapy: Reinforces small wins and achievable steps forward.

We also support couples managing life transitions, substance use recovery, or parenting-related conflict through integrated approaches that include family therapy when needed.
