Couples Therapy in Calgary – NU Psychology

Rebuilding Connection, Together

Every couple goes through seasons of closeness and challenge. Sometimes love is still present, but stress, miscommunication, or unspoken hurts make it difficult to feel truly connected. At NU Psychology, our Calgary couples therapists help partners slow down, rediscover each other, and build stronger patterns of communication, trust, and intimacy.

Our Approach to Couples Counselling

At NU Psychology, we believe every relationship has the capacity for repair and growth. Our Calgary psychologists use evidence-based methods such as:

  • The Gottman Method: A proven approach to improving communication, trust, and emotional connection.

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT): Identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns that fuel conflict.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helping couples align actions with their shared values.

  • Narrative Therapy: Supporting couples to reframe their shared story in a way that opens new possibilities.

Each session is tailored to your unique needs, with strategies that honor both partners’ voices.

No matter your relationship stage, couples therapy provides a safe and supportive space to reconnect.
