Couples Counselling in Surrey
In-person therapy to reconnect, repair, and move forward—together.
Relationships are complex. Whether you’re navigating frequent arguments, emotional distance, or a major transition, couples therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening and find a better path forward.
At Tidal Trauma Centre, we offer in-person couples counselling in Surrey, with sessions held at our warm, private office in Cloverdale. Our trauma-informed therapists support you in building clarity, trust, and connection, without judgment or blame.
Why Couples Come to Therapy
Not every couple comes to therapy in crisis. Many start because they feel disconnected, stuck, or unsure how to support each other. We work with couples at every stage, including those who are:
Arguing over the same things again and again
Feeling more like roommates than romantic partners
Dealing with parenting stress, illness, or life transitions
Rebuilding trust after a rupture or betrayal
Exploring whether to stay or part ways with care and clarity
Wanting to deepen connection or improve communication
Whatever you're facing, couples counselling can offer a space to reflect, repair, and grow together.
What to Expect from Couples Counselling in Surrey
Sessions take place at our Cloverdale office: a calm, neutral setting designed to support emotional safety and meaningful conversation. You'll work with a therapist trained to understand the patterns underneath conflict, not just the surface-level issues.
Depending on your goals, your therapist may integrate:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for emotional safety and secure bonding
Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early experiences shape your connection
Somatic approaches to help calm reactivity and support regulation
Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand protective parts that impact the relationship
Practical tools for communication, boundaries, and trust-building
All sessions are confidential and paced according to your nervous systems and relational capacity.
Who We Support
We welcome couples of all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures. This includes:
Heterosexual, LGBTQ+, and queer couples
Monogamous, polyamorous, or open relationships
Neurodiverse partnerships
Parents, co-parents, or blended families
Couples at any stage: dating, married, separated, or deciding
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, that’s not a reason to wait. It’s a reason to begin.

Common Myths About Couples Counselling
-
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out in isolation. Couples counselling can support clarity, reduce tension, and create a more compassionate process, whether you choose to rebuild your relationship or transition out of it respectfully.
-
Yes. Not all therapy is crisis-driven. Many couples come in to strengthen communication, align values, or build a strong emotional foundation before major life transitions like marriage, moving in together, or having children.
-
No. Our therapists are trained to remain attuned, balanced, and non-blaming. The focus is on understanding each partner’s experience, identifying patterns, and supporting the relationship, not assigning fault.
-
We ask that you attend without children if possible, as it allows for deeper emotional focus and privacy. However, we understand the realities of parenting. If this is a concern, let us know and we’ll work with you to find a supportive plan.
-
Not at all. Many couples come simply because things feel off, more silence than connection, more tension than ease. That’s reason enough. You don’t need to wait for a breakdown to begin the process of repair.
-
That’s common and valid. Our therapists are skilled at pacing sessions to respect each person's emotional readiness. We’ll never force vulnerability. Instead, we work to build the safety and trust that make deeper conversations possible.
-
Yes. Our office is located in a discreet professional building in Cloverdale, upstairs with the waiting room doors on the left. It’s quiet, professional, and designed to feel calm and welcoming. We’re easily accessible from Langley, Clayton Heights, Fleetwood, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
-
Not necessarily. While many couples attend together, we also offer individual sessions with a relationship lens when one partner needs extra support.
-
Yes. If you travel, have children, or need a mix of formats, we’ll help you create a plan that works.
