Three ways to do couples therapy, side by side

Couples ask which method to choose. Here are the three we draw on, in plain words. Your clinician explains how they use each one.

Three ways to do couples therapy, side by side
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)The Gottman methodImago therapy
What it looks atEmotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)The pattern between you: who reaches, who pulls back, and what each of you feels underneath.The Gottman methodHow you handle disagreement, friendship and shared goals, starting with a questionnaire each of you fills in.Imago therapyHow old hurts, often from childhood, show up in the relationship you have now.
What a session feels likeEmotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)Mostly conversation, slow and paced. Your clinician helps each of you say what you need and hear the other.The Gottman methodMore structured: exercises in the room, and goals you set together.Imago therapyDialogues with a set form: one of you speaks, the other repeats back what they heard.
Between sessionsEmotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)Notice the pattern when it happens. No homework unless you want some.The Gottman methodShort exercises, such as a daily check-in.Imago therapyA few minutes of the dialogue at home.
Who it may suitEmotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)Couples who keep having the same argument and want to understand it.The Gottman methodCouples who like a plan and things to practice.Imago therapyCouples who want a set way to talk when it gets heated.

Session length

Whichever you pick, the session is 50 or 80 minutes

  • 01

    50 minutes

    Enough for one topic. Many couples who meet every week choose it.

  • 02

    80 minutes

    Room for both of you to speak, and a pause. We suggest it for the first session and for harder conversations.

Choosing

You do not have to choose a method today

Most couples do not pick a method. They pick a person.

Read Rebeca's and Harish's pages and write to whoever feels right. If the way we work does not fit the two of you, say so and your clinician will change it.

  • No method is better than another for every couple

  • Your clinician explains how they use each one

  • You can ask questions before you book
