CoupleRef is based on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), a leading evidence-based approach. Research shows that most couples experience significant improvement after EFT. It helps partners understand emotions, recognize patterns of conflict and closeness, and build secure attachment, fostering deeper connection and communication.

Yes. We don’t believe in "subscription traps" or recurring bills for relationship support. You pay once for 90 days of full access for you and your partner. At the end of your 90 days, your account doesn't "auto-renew"—it simply expires unless you choose to extend it manually.

The average couple spends their first 4–6 therapy sessions (costing $600–$1,000+) just explaining their history and searching for the "why" behind their fights. CoupleRef automates that "Discovery" phase. You arrive at your first therapy session with a professional-grade intake report, clear goals, and your core patterns already identified. You aren't starting from scratch; you're starting from the solution.

You keep your Professional Intake Report and your data forever. The "live" features like the AI Coach and Mediation will pause, but there are no surprise charges. If you decide you want more time, you can renew for another block, but we will never charge your card without your explicit permission.

No. You do not need to be online at the same time to use CoupleRef.

You can use CoupleRef together or completely independently.

When you want to work in real time, you can join a 3-way live session with your partner and the AI Coach for conflict mediation, communication work, or guided discussions.

Some activities—like structured conversation guides—are designed to be completed together. At other times, each partner can work independently on their own schedule.

All assessments, reports, and sessions are private unless you choose to share them.

In short, CoupleRef works whether you’re together or on different schedules, giving you the flexibility to work individually on your own issues or together on your relationship dynamics.

You can start alone.

CoupleRef still helps you understand your triggers, build skills, and practice healthier communication on your own. Many users begin solo and later invite their partner once they feel more comfortable.Your progress doesn’t depend on both people starting at the same time.

CoupleRef is built specifically for couples therapy—not general purpose chat. It combines:

‍Interactive exercises tailored to your relationship patterns and goals.

‍Psychological assessments and reports that build a profile of each partner and map your unique relationship dynamics.

‍Targeted chat experiences such as conflict mediation, communication coaching, and guided discussions.

‍Two-person collaboration with shared sessions and private spaces for each partner.

‍Personalized guidance based on your combined patterns, interactions, and core issues.

Every interaction in CoupleRef—exercises, chats, assessments— refines the AI’s understanding of your relationship. This creates a continuous, personalized experience modeled specifically to how you connect, communicate, and grow together—something a general purpose chatbot - even ChatGPT - cannot do.

Yes—CoupleRef is private and secure.

‍We only collect what’s needed to run your account. We don’t ask for your name or personal details, and your email is used only for login, account recovery, and notifcations. Your assessment results, chats, and exercises stay private and are never sold or shared. You can delete your data at any time.
