Every relationship has its ups and downs. The good news is that with professional couples therapy you can recover from bumps in the road, but it’s important to act sooner rather than later.
As social beings, healthy interpersonal relationships are almost as important to us as our own healthy bodies and healthy minds. At Identity Consultancy, we help couples, partners and other relationship groups form close and strong emotional connections and overcome complex difficulties. Our structured therapeutic approach gives each participant in the relationship an opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment where difficulties can be overcome, and healthy behaviors can grow.
Couples therapy, relationship therapy and marriage counseling are all types of psychotherapy in which couples and other relationship groups identify and resolve conflicts to form healthy patterns of communication, interaction and behavior. Whether the problem stems from differences in priorities or communication styles, responses to challenging life events, sexual or other compatibility issues, Sage’s trained and licensed therapists will use proven techniques to help each person in the relationship – and the couple or group as a whole – to draw closer, communicate more effectively and form deeper connections.
As a first step, an initial assessment is performed by our licensed professionals to learn more about you and your relationship. After the initial assessment, a clinician specialized in couples and relationships will work with you to create a personalized program of therapy with specific goals and outcomes in mind.
We know it’s likely to have been a struggle to get this far, but we are with you every step of the way. Our process is simple – we work with you to develop a unique plan and provide the a level of support according to your needs, whilst ensuring measurable and sustainable outcomes.

There are different approaches to couples therapy, such as emotion focused therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, but there are common themes that underlie most models of couples’ therapy. You can expect to discuss your relationship concerns, goals, and challenges in a collaborative and non-judgmental environment. Your therapist will facilitate constructive communication, help you identify underlying issues, and teach you practical strategies to improve your relationship dynamics. Sessions may involve both individual and joint discussions, as well as homework assignments to practice new skills outside of therapy.
The duration of couples therapy varies depending on factors such as the nature and severity of relationship issues, individual progress, and treatment goals. Some couples may benefit from short-term therapy focused on addressing specific concerns, while others may require longer-term support to achieve lasting changes in their relationship dynamics. Your therapist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and circumstances.
While couples therapy cannot guarantee specific outcomes, it can provide you with valuable tools, insights, and support to work through relationship challenges and improve communication and intimacy. Success in couples therapy often depends on both partners’ willingness to actively participate in the process, commit to making changes, and engage in open and honest communication.
No, couples therapy is not limited to married couples and can be beneficial for couples at any stage of their relationship, including dating, cohabiting, engaged, or married couples. Whether you’re experiencing communication problems, conflicts, or other relationship challenges, couples therapy can help you strengthen your connection and build a healthier relationship.
Confidentiality is a fundamental principle in couple’s therapy. Information shared during therapy sessions is kept confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone without both partners’ consent, except in situations where there is a risk of harm to either partner or others, or as required by law.
