Relational issues are central to the struggles and challenges that people bring to therapy. Many couples just want to enhance their relationship by learning better ways of coping with stress, increasing the intimacy that they experience with one another, or learning more effective communication skills.

Emotionally Focused Therapy is central to the work that we do in couples counseling. Identifying patterns of communication that no longer work and incorporating new ways is key.

Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Lonely? Angry? Hurt? Do you long for the relationship you once had, versus the one it has become? If any of these statements ring true, you’d likely benefit from couples counselling.

Being in a relationship can be difficult, particularly in a culture that has become increasingly individualistic. We fall into unhelpful relational patterns that leave us feeling angry, indifferent, or ashamed. We inflict emotional pain on our partners and we don't even understand why we are doing it.

Using aspects of relational life therapy, internal family systems and more, we will go through a process of healing, designed to shift the relationship toward greater understanding, love, and connection.
