TJ Mackenzie works primarily from an attachment theory-based position while incorporating aspects of emotions focused therapy (EFT), and internal family systems (IFS) theory. For couple’s work, TJ incorporates aspects of Gottman method couples counselling and emotion focused couples’ therapy (EFCT) into his clinical work. Using these methods can be incredibly helpful when working through relational dynamics.

Couples often get stuck in their relationships - they disconnect. The good news is that reconnection is possible. Sometimes, it means processing through regrettable incidents or learning to take responsibility for the pieces of communication that you can improve. Tamara uses the Gottman Method in her work with you as well as her years of experience/knowledge in the area of mental health.

When couples require counselling, it is often because there has been a breakdown in trust and communication. At times like these, it is important to have a third party involved that can promote progress through evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Here at Virtuous Circle Counselling, we offer in-person and virtual sessions to couples in need so that they can find their way to a healthier future.

In couples therapy, I draw from both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners reconnect, understand each other, and build hope for the future. I create a space where partners can express their needs, emotions, and vulnerabilities in a way that deepens their emotional connection. Together, we work on strengthening their bond by identifying negative cycles and helping them respond to each other’s emotional needs with compassion and understanding. By combining these approaches, I help couples build trust, improve communication, and develop a more secure, loving connection that fosters lasting hope and growth.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?
