Strengthening Communication, Connection & Trust
Relationships can be deeply meaningful — and also deeply challenging. Many couples find themselves stuck in the same patterns of miscommunication, emotional distance, or unresolved conflict, even when there is still care and commitment beneath it all.
I offer couples coaching in Winnipeg, Matlock, and online to help partners reconnect, communicate more clearly, and rebuild trust in a way that feels safe, respectful, and supportive for both people.
When Couples Seek Support
Couples often reach out when they’re experiencing:
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from couples coaching. Many couples simply want support learning how to relate to one another with more clarity, compassion, and emotional safety.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Couples Work
Every relationship is shaped by past experiences — including family dynamics, attachment patterns, and unresolved emotional wounds. In my work with couples, I take a trauma-informed approach, which means:
This approach helps couples move out of blame and defensiveness and into greater understanding and connection.
Coaching First, Hypnotherapy When Helpful
Couples coaching is primarily conversation-based and skills-focused. Together, we work on:

My wife and I had been married for eight years when we hit a real rough patch. We both wanted to work on our relationship, so we explored a few different options for support. What stood out to us about Tannis was her approach to couples coaching rather than couples therapy — it felt more comfortable and less like something was “wrong” with us.
We really appreciated Tannis’ ability to get to the core issues and help us see situations from each other’s perspective. We also worked with her individually, which helped us understand how our past experiences were showing up in our marriage. She supported us in taking accountability for our parts while still feeling encouraged and understood.
The coaching experience has been extremely positive for our relationship, and we’ve recommended Tannis to some of our married friends. ~ Mike & Karen T.
