Couples Counselling

Relationships can be beautiful, but also messy, complicated, and hard to talk about-especially when you're stuck in patterns that just don’t work anymore. At The Hive, we support dating, engaged, and married couples of all kinds who are navigating communication breakdowns, hurt feelings, disconnection, low intimacy, infidelity, and everything in between.

We’re not stuffy or stiff-we mix compassion with a little humour, and we’re not afraid to call out patterns that keep you stuck. Our approach blends evidence-based tools from Gottman Method, attachment theory, and love languages with real-world strategies that help you reconnect in a way that actually works for you.

What to Expect

Couples counselling at The Hive starts with solo sessions…hear us out.

You and your partner are fighting in your home, sharp jabs, mean digs and hurt feelings. The emotions are high, and we don’t bring our best selves to the table when we are emotionally charged, in these sessions each partner has space to speak freely - no eggshells, no editing, just release - without doing more harm. Together, we explore your personal experience in the relationship, patterns of behaviour, past hurts, open wounds, your goals, fears, and communication style. Then, we send you home with a relationship assessment worksheet that touches on all the big stuff: finances, sex, respect, parenting, in-laws, fun, and more.

This gives us a bird’s eye view of where things are going sideways-and where both of you may be feeling unheard or unseen. From there, we dive in as a team, working to heal old wounds and build a stronger, more connected foundation.

For couples healing from infidelity, we gently uncover where the relationship started to stray and help you rebuild trust in a way that feels honest, empowering, and forward-focused.
