Introduction:
Relationships are fundamental to our emotional well-being, but they can also be sources of stress and conflict. At BCOGNITIVE, we specialise in helping couples and families resolve their challenges through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Family Systems Therapy. Our services are available through telehealth, home visits, or in-person counselling, ensuring that our expert relationship therapists can provide support in a way that works for you.
The Science of Relationship Therapy
EFT is an evidence-based approach rooted in attachment theory, and it has been shown to be highly effective for couples experiencing distress. A study by Johnson (2004) found that EFT helped 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery, with significant long-term improvements in relationship satisfaction. EFT helps couples create a secure emotional bond by improving communication and fostering emotional intimacy.
Family Systems Therapy focuses on the interactions between family members and how these dynamics affect individual behaviours. Research by Bowen (1978) demonstrated that family systems therapy helps families understand and resolve patterns of dysfunction, improve communication, and promote healthier relationships. This approach is particularly useful for addressing intergenerational conflict, trauma, or emotional disconnection within families.
BCOGNITIVE’s Holistic Approach to Relationships:
At BCOGNITIVE, we offer telehealth sessions for couples and families who prefer the convenience of online therapy, as well as home visits and in-person counselling for those who prefer face-to-face support. Our therapy is designed to be flexible, and we tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each couple or family. Additionally, we provide clients with relationship-building tools such as communication guides, personalised exercises, and counselling books, allowing them to practise new skills between sessions and reinforce positive changes in their relationships.
Conclusion:
BCOGNITIVE is committed to helping individuals, couples, and families build stronger, healthier relationships through evidence-based therapies like EFT and Family Systems Therapy. Our expert therapists, combined with flexible care options and personalised resources, make BCOGNITIVE the best choice for relationship counselling across Australia.
