Great Couples Counselling in Forest Lawn, AB. Therapy to heal relationships.

I work with couples involved in any stage of development or relational style including alternative lifestyle approaches. I am comfortable working with traditional as well as LGTBQ+ friendly couples and specialize in working with sexuality issues within these couple dynamics as well. I have over 25 years of couples work experience and tend to use a strongly applied approach to get effective results.

We offer couples counseling and focus on the strengths of each couple to assist them in working better as a team. We help each couple learn to validate each other and encourage open and honest communication with each other. We seek to instill hope and respect into each couple with whom we work. Our therapists offer couples counseling in person in Duluth and Hinckley; as well as, online through E-Services.

I offered structured and effective methods for working with couples whether the goal is to improve the relationship or successfully separation. I use assessment tools that highlight what is working and not working in troubled relationships where couples want to stay together. Strategies to target problem areas are chosen and practiced in sessions and at home. By improving communication skills, conflict resolution skills and deepening couple intimacy, couples are able to feel more successful in their relationships. When there is closeness and comfort in our most important relationships it can positively impact our overall wellbeing.

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.

Relationships evolve over time, so naturally, people encounter moments where they might feel disconnected, stuck in cycles of conflict and misunderstanding, and may feel like ending the relationship is the only option. In couples counselling we will collaboratively work on creating safe and supportive environments where you work towards addressing the problems, rather than being against each other. Couples counselling aims to uncover underlying emotions and needs that exaggerate distress, disagreements, and conflict. My approach emphasizes collaboration, care, and consistency.

Whether you're just wanting to clarify that you're in a healthy relationship or you have specific issues to resolve, I can offer a neutral and non-judgemental space while helping you navigate yourself and each other. Working from an Emotionally Focused Therapy and Systems theory framework, I can help you uncover your true needs in a relationship and work through any barriers or obstacles to living a healthy and fulfilling life.
