What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Couples therapy is generally for anyone who is in a relationship and struggling to build or maintain connection, having communication difficulties, intimacy difficulties or any wide variety of difficulties within the complexity of relations. Couples therapy is a specialty and therefore you should look for a therapist who has specialized training and expertise in this area. Initial sessions are often longer in length and provide participants with a good understanding of "how and why we do what we do (including biological/neurological), a "road map" of where we have come from and where we are heading, and a treatment plan should therapy continue.

Today's couples take many forms, from pre-marriage relationship to co-habitation to marriage in its different stages. There are gay and lesbian couples as well as second marriages with blended families. My approach with couples is to observe their communication patterns and patterns of stuckness. With insight and experience, I help them identify ways for better communication and how earlier childhood and relationship patterns or unresolved issues are impeding present relationship. Working with a balanced alliance with both partners lays the foundation of trust in couple counselling.

Are you and your partner stuck in unsolvable arguments? Does one of you tend to ‘demand’ more while the other shuts down and withdraws? Are you feeling less connected and actually adding stress to each other’s lives instead of reducing it? While frustrating, these are perfectly normal patterns of partnership and there is hope. I would be glad to help you untangle the knots, learning to team up together instead of entering battles over who is right. In doing so, we will unpack past traumas and patterns of behaviour, learning to better communicate and to be safely vulnerable in a way that stands your relationship on solid ground.

Couples counselling is an opportunity to help people see their relationship from a different perspective. I often say that perspective change equals emotional change.
