If you and your partner keep having the same arguments without resolution, this course is for you. Based on science-backed couples therapy techniques, this course teaches the communication strategies therapists use every day to help couples reconnect and resolve conflict—without blame, shutdowns, or walking on eggshells.
This online communication course is designed to help couples improve emotional connection by understanding their unique communication patterns. Whether you’re in couples therapy or exploring couples therapy individual sessions, this course offers foundational tools to support a healthier relationship.
Led by psychotherapist Amanda Bacchus, the course blends insights from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and IMAGO Relationship Therapy to help you and your partner understand each other better and communicate more effectively
Unlike other online courses, Don’t Just Talk focuses not just on what you say, but how you understand each other underneath the words. You’ll learn why your fights keep looping, what your partner is really trying to say, and how to respond in ways that strengthen rather than strain your bond.
It’s the next best thing to couples therapy for one—and a great complement to relationship counselling online or in-person with a couples therapist near you.
This course is:
Research-based and therapist-designed Easy to complete at your own pace Focused on insight, not just techniques Ideal for couples OR individuals looking to improve their part in the relationship
Whether you’re already in therapy or not ready to book with a counselor yet, this course can help bridge the gap.
In this course, you will learn strategies and techniques to understand your partner so you can de-escalate issues quickly and communicate more effectively.
The course is self-paced and divided into clear modules, including:
You’ll also explore common communication styles in relationships and discover how to start living in harmony—even when you disagree.
Note: This course is educational and not a replacement for therapy. If you need personalized guidance, we recommend working with a licensed counselor or psychotherapist near you.
This is cheaper than takeout — and might save your relationship from becoming “just roommates.”
Hi, I’m Amanda Bacchus, a registered psychotherapist and couples therapist.
I’ve supported thousands of couples over the years and I created this course to give you the tools I wish every couple had before things hit a boiling point.
If you’re not ready for full therapy yet (or just want to feel like teammates again) this course is your on-ramp.
This isn’t therapy. It’s your next best thing.
Self-paced, non-judgmental, zero awkward sessions.
If you finish this course and don’t feel more clarity, insight, or relief, let us know. We’ll make it right.
No! This course is just as valuable for individuals. If you’re considering couples therapy for one or exploring therapy for professionals, this course can support personal growth and insight into your relationship dynamics.
Absolutely. Many clients use this course as a supplement to marriage counselling, affordable counselling, or therapy and counseling near me.
While designed with couples in mind, the communication principles apply broadly to relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. We also support family counseling center clients looking to strengthen communication in multiple areas.
No. It’s fully self-paced so you can move through it on your schedule—from anywhere in Ontario or beyond.
That’s okay. Many people take it solo. In fact, couples therapy individual sessions are a growing trend—and this course fits perfectly within that model. You can improve your relationship even if you’re the only one doing the work (to start).
