Types of Couples Therapy Available in Singapore

Singapore offers a variety of evidence-based couples therapy approaches. Here are the most commonly used methods:

1. Gottman Method Couples Therapy

• Research-based approach focusing on improving communication, trust, and intimacy.

• Uses structured exercises to identify and address negative patterns.

• Best for: Couples experiencing frequent conflicts, emotional disconnection, or rebuilding after trust issues.

  
  

2. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

• Based on attachment theory and focuses on strengthening emotional bonds.

• Helps couples understand their emotional triggers and build secure attachments.

• Best for: Couples struggling with emotional distance, deep-seated conflicts, or past relationship wounds.

  
  

3. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

• A short-term therapy that focuses on finding solutions rather than analyzing past issues.

• Encourages couples to work towards specific relationship goals.

• Best for: Couples looking for quick, practical strategies to improve their relationship.

  
  

4. Psychodynamic Couples Therapy

• Explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns affect current relationship dynamics.

• Helps couples recognize deep-seated emotional wounds and triggers.

• Best for: Couples dealing with unresolved childhood issues that impact their relationships.

Note: Inner Child Healing seeks to address the same relationship needs but we do not specifically use Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Psychodynamic Therapy in the work we do.

5. Integrative Couples Therapy

• Combines different therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment based on the couple’s unique challenges.

• Best for: Couples with complex relationship issues requiring a customized approach.

  
  

How to Choose the Best Couples Therapy Approach

Choosing the right therapy depends on various factors:

1. Nature of Relationship Issues: If communication is the main problem, the Gottman Method may be most effective. If emotional connection is lacking, EFT could be a better fit.

2. Therapy Goals: Short-term solutions? SFBT might work. Need deeper emotional healing? Psychodynamic Therapy is an option.

3. Therapist’s Expertise: Ensure your therapist is trained in the approach that suits your needs.

4. Commitment Level: Some therapies require more sessions, while others focus on rapid interventions.

   
   

Key Factors to Consider Before Starting Couples Therapy

• Confidentiality & Safe Space:

  Ensure you feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues in therapy. Read testimonials, reviews and ask!

• How Willing Are Both Of You To Heal The Relationship Wounds?

  Both partners must be open to therapy for it to be effective.
