Great Couples Counselling in Kingston, ON. Therapy to heal relationships.

Couples often come for counselling when one person is seriously contemplating leaving the relationship. The person who wishes to hold the relationship together is often the one who initiates and it can be a challenge convincing your partner to try one more time to resolve seemingly impossible issues. I employ the Gottman method of couples counseling. By examining the positive aspects of your relationship and its strengths - which may seem to have faded and become undetectable - we can find ways to overcome the challenges. If there are underlying individual issues that need examination, we can do that so that both persons feel strong and resilient and able to move forward together.

My background in relational therapy allows me to understand individuals through the relationships they cohabit. Couple therapy may be a vehicle for growth to occur both relationally and individually. This in turn may assist in bringing you closer to your desired goals through understanding and breaking down language used in romantic relationships. Throughout couple sessions, I lean towards emotionally focused therapy, as I have witnessed its transformative effects particularly in romantic relationships. Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to determine if we would be a good fit.

Relationships are like two people singing at the same time. Sound beautiful? But imagine if the two songs were not similar in tune or harmony and didn’t match each other at all. That’s where couples therapy comes in – separating clashing issues and perspectives, so the harmony becomes more like a well orchestrated symphony. Many couples will often try to manage their challenges for years, struggling to feel connected and heard, before ever seeking therapy. Repair and reconciliation have been futile. Therapy can help couples see the role they each play within the relationship and help them learn new strategies and communication techniques to overcome unhealthy patterns of interaction.

Romantic relationships can be hard work. They require regular care to keep them functioning well. Many couples expect romance to go on forever without doing the necessary work only to face the realities of relationships. Relationship issues become more magnified when one or both parties carry a history of trauma. Couples counselling can help individuals learn about one another, communicate effectively and grow as individuals while becoming loving partners. The therapist is an unbiased party who is there to help both partners function together well as a unit by providing solution-based interventions.

An intimate partnership is a strong and powerful connection between two people, and it is often a complex dance of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. In couple and relationship therapy my goal is to assist couples in resolving problems and conflicts that they have not been able to handle effectively on their own. Therapy involves both partners sitting down with me to discuss their thoughts and feelings. My aim is to allow each partner to gain a better understanding of themselves and their partner and help them to decide if they need and want to make changes in their lives and in their relationship. I provide a supportive safe space to help couples learn new ways to relate to each other.
