Eleos Counselling: Compassionate Couples Therapy Near Horsham, West Sussex

Relationships are at the heart of our lives. They offer love, comfort, and connection—but they can also bring pain, confusion, and distance when things begin to feel strained. You might be arguing more, feeling unheard, or wondering where the closeness went. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face it alone.

At Eleos Counselling, near Horsham (RH12/RH13) in West Sussex, we offer professional couples therapy to help you and your partner reconnect, rebuild trust, and strengthen your emotional bond. Whether you’re navigating long-standing tension or recovering from a specific rupture, therapy offers a safe space to work through it—together.

What Is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

Our work with couples is based on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a proven, research-backed approach developed by Dr. Sue Johnson. EFT looks beyond surface-level conflict and focuses on what really drives it—our deep human need for connection and emotional safety.

Rather than just managing arguments, EFT helps couples understand the emotional patterns and unmet needs that keep them stuck. When couples learn to spot these patterns and respond to one another with empathy, the result is often a stronger, more secure relationship.

Why Choose EFT for Couples Therapy?

Emotionally Focused Therapy has helped thousands of couples worldwide reconnect in meaningful ways. Here’s why:

1. Addresses Root Issues – EFT looks beyond blame or surface conflict and gets to the emotional core of what’s really going on.

2. Builds Lasting Connection – It helps couples rebuild the safety and trust they need to feel close and supported again.

3. Highly Effective – Research shows that 70–75% of couples move from distress to recovery, with over 90% reporting improved connection.

4. Sustains Long-Term Growth – EFT equips couples with tools to maintain healthy, resilient relationships even after therapy ends.

5. Inclusive & Flexible – Whether you’ve been together for 2 years or 20, or are navigating separation, EFT adapts to your unique relationship needs.

Why Seek Couples Counselling?

All relationships face stress—whether from life transitions, communication breakdowns, betrayals, or unspoken resentments. Over time, these challenges can quietly erode the closeness you once felt.

Couples therapy is not about blaming or choosing sides. It’s about helping both partners feel safe enough to express what matters, hear one another, and move forward with greater understanding. At Eleos Counselling, we help couples:

• Break unhelpful communication patterns

• Rebuild trust after emotional or physical rupture

• Improve intimacy and emotional connection

• Resolve recurring arguments with clarity and compassion

• Create new, healthier ways of relating

What to Expect in Couples Therapy

At Eleos Counselling, we offer a calm, supportive space where both partners feel respected and heard. Guided by EFT principles, we take a gentle yet structured approach to healing relational wounds.

Together, we’ll:

1. Identify the Cycles – Recognise the patterns you keep falling into that create distance and frustration

2. Explore the Emotions Beneath – Understand the deeper emotional needs and fears driving your reactions

3. Foster Emotional Safety – Learn how to respond to one another with empathy, not defensiveness

4. Create Lasting Change – Replace stuck patterns with healthier, more connected ways of engaging

We move at your pace—balancing reflection with practical tools to support your day-to-day relationship.
