Marriage & Couples Counselling Singapore
Finding Your Way Back to Each Other
Because love deserves another chance , take the first step today.
Feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or caught in the same arguments again and again?
If you’re searching for marriage counselling in Singapore or couples counselling therapy, you’re not alone. Every relationship faces moments when love feels out of sync.
Though every couple’s story is unique, one truth remains: there are always two people, whether in a marriage or a committed relationship, same-sex or different, and the real work is on the relationship itself. The person is not the problem; the pattern is.
If you’re married and seeking to rebuild trust, visit our page on Marriage Counselling Singapore to discover how therapy can help you reconnect.
If you’re dating, engaged or wanting to start a life together, explore Couples Therapy Singapore including Pre-Marriage Counselling to deepen your emotional connection and build a strong foundation for the future.
Relationship stress from family dynamics, work pressures, or life transitions can deeply affect your connection. Over time, patterns of protection and hurt can harden into emotional walls, leaving both partners feeling lonely even when together. Sometimes one cries out in pain while the other retreats into silence; sometimes both circle around the same argument until exhaustion sets in. These reactions become a different kind of dance, one shaped by fear, shame, and longing rather than closeness.
We are all born into different stories, each with its own lessons about connection, trust, discipline, values, and safety. Falling in love is powerful, but staying connected requires understanding, compassion, and the right tools to nurture the bond.
At Listening Ear Counselling & Consultancy, we help couples rediscover that connection through insight, empathy, and evidence-based approaches that honour both partners’ experiences.

How Relationship Counselling Helps
At Listening Ear Counselling & Consultancy Pte. Ltd., the focus is on uncovering what truly lies beneath the surface: the needs, emotions and fears that often hide behind frustration, control or silence.
Every argument or shutdown carries a deeper longing to feel heard, valued or safe. In relationship counselling, we explore these unspoken needs through the lens of attachment, helping couples recognise the emotional dance that keeps them caught in familiar cycles. One partner reaches out anxiously, the other retreats for safety. Once both understand this pattern, the problem becomes the dance itself, not either person.
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), couples begin to see how their attachment styles shape the way they reach or protect. From Nonviolent Communication (NVC), they learn how to express feelings and needs without blame, to speak from the “I” rather than the “You”. For example, “I feel disconnected and long for closeness” instead of “You don’t care anymore.”
Through the Gottman Method, couples identify the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling, and then learn their antidotes, such as gentle start-ups, appreciation, taking responsibility and self-soothing. These antidotes form the building blocks of repair and trust.
We also integrate the principles of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy (CTRT), which focus on personal responsibility and conscious choice. Rather than trying to control or change your partner, the goal is to understand what you can choose differently. It is about learning how to meet your own needs for love, power, freedom, belonging and fun while respecting the same in your partner.
Often, couples begin to recognise that their conflicts arise from positions, such as “You must agree with me”, instead of shared interests, like “We both want to feel respected”. Counselling helps uncover these underlying interests and translate them into actionable, caring conversations.
Through this process, you can learn to:
Recognise the cycle that keeps you apart and the needs beneath it
Communicate with clarity, empathy and curiosity
Shift from blame to responsibility, and from reaction to repair
Rebuild trust and emotional intimacy
Develop practical tools to reconnect after conflict
As Sue Johnson reminds us, “Marriage counselling is about learning to dance again.” The goal is not to win or lose but to move together with awareness, compassion and choice.
What to Expect
Marriage and relationship counselling are collaborative processes that focus on creating emotional safety and balance. It is not about deciding who is right or wrong but about learning how each of you experiences love, stress and disconnection, and how to reconnect with empathy and choice.
Typically, sessions begin with a joint conversation to explore what brought you here and what both of you long for. The therapist’s role is to remain impartial, holding space for both perspectives and helping you find the meaning beneath the conflict.
Here’s what you can expect:
Joint sessions to explore patterns of interaction, attachment needs and shared goals
Optional individual sessions to process personal history and emotional readiness
Practical tools to help you listen without defensiveness, speak from the heart and repair after conflict
Our integrative approach includes:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to make sense of your emotional bond and create a new cycle of connection
Gottman Method to reduce criticism and contempt and replace them with appreciation and repair
Satir Growth Model to encourage congruence and emotional honesty in communication
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to help you hear feelings and needs beneath words, promoting empathy and understanding
Choice Theory and Reality Therapy (CTRT) to help you focus on what you can control, your own choices, behaviours and responses
Sessions are paced with care and sensitivity. The work is not to assign blame but to create understanding, to help you rediscover the possibility of love, respect and shared meaning.
