Couples Therapy
Introduction
Couples therapy offers a supportive and neutral space for partners to pause, reflect, and understand what’s happening beneath the surface of their relationship. Whether you’re facing recurring conflicts, feeling disconnected, or navigating a major life change, therapy helps you communicate more clearly, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional intimacy.
At SimplyWell, couples work is anchored in Imago Therapy, a powerful therapeutic modality designed to transform conflict into deeper understanding and connection.
What is Imago Therapy?
Imago Therapy is a structured, evidence-informed approach that helps couples understand the deeper emotional needs and patterns that shape their relationship. It is based on a simple insight: We are drawn to partners who mirror the emotional history of our early relationships. Because of this, conflicts often feel more intense and more personal than they appear on the surface.
