Couples Therapy for Connection, Communication and Trust
Relationships can feel complicated, especially when the same conflicts keep coming up or you’re finding it harder to feel close. Fika offers virtual couples therapy for partners navigating communication difficulties, conflict, disconnection, trust concerns, life changes, or betrayal. Availability depends on your province and clinician.

Why Relationships Get Stuck
Every couple develops patterns in how they handle stress, conflict, closeness, and repair. Sometimes those patterns can leave you feeling unheard, distant, or stuck.
At Fika, couples therapy can help you slow those patterns down, understand what is happening underneath them, and explore new ways of relating.
04
Approaches your Therapist May Draw From
Depending on your therapist and what you’re working on, couples therapy may draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, trauma-informed relationship counselling, Polyvagal-informed approaches, Narrative Therapy, and attachment-focused approaches.
Your therapist will let you know what approaches they draw from and what may fit your goals.
