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

Couples Counselling Most relationships will become strained at some point and will begin producing maladaptive patterns. Relationship problems are rooted in our distorted egos, insecure attachment, emotional immaturity etc., which create to the many issues that develop for couples - infidelity, financial stress, poor communication, ill health, sexual divergence, household responsibility conflicts, addictions, etc., .... or just simply growing apart. Relationships can often be restored if help is sought soon enough. A counsellor can help reorient perceptions and emotions (how we look at a situation and how we feel about it) and assist the couple in adopting conscious structural changes.

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?

Romantic relationships are both beautiful and complex. It is the weaving of two threads of individual stories, dreams, fears, and aspirations.

You'll gain tools for enhanced courageous communication and conflict resolution during vulnerability while fostering a relationship embedded in genuineness, mutual respect, and deep caring.

I love working with couples to develop communication and conflict resolutions skills. When couples come to me honestly seeking help and committed to put effort into their recovery the outcomes are nothing short of wonderful!

As human beings, we are wired for connection, and when a relationship feels conflicted, the ripple effects touch every part of our lives. In therapy with me, couples find a safe space to acknowledge the hardships they face while working to strengthen their bond. Together, we focus on improving communication, deepening understanding of yourself and your partner, and exploring what secure attachment could feel like in your relationship. With curiosity and compassion, we uncover the root causes of dysfunctional patterns and practice repair. This process helps couples rebuild trust, nurture intimacy, and create a healthier, more resilient connection.

It was once said, 'we are wounded in relationships and we gain our healing in relationships.' Working with couples is one of my focus of interest. I have been married for over 30 years and have an understand of the challenges that being in a couple can bring. Drawing on a number of models of therapy and life experiences, it would an honor to help you navigate your relationship.

We are not prepared to be married. Clouded with romantic ideals and unreasonable expectations, our relationships can quickly begin to feel lacking in fulfillment. I believe that most couples don't want divorce. What they do want is to feel connected again and safe again. I use Imago Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy to help couples re-connect. Building a healthy marriage takes both time and commitment. The skills you will obtain will give you a clear path to reconnection and safety.

We all long for connection. Many of us feel great in the times when a relationship is new and the connection is just developing. The problems come when we have to repair distance/rifts in that connection, or when we need to sustain and deepen our connection to our partners. Maybe we never learned how. Maybe we carry scars and trauma from past relationships. Maybe we have patterns in our histories that we never really dealt with. Maybe all of the above. Our work together will take all of that into account and in a non-judgmental environment, we will hold space for you both to learn how to repair, strengthen and maintain your most important relationships.

Couples desire to seek the most from their relationships. Whether it is rekindling a passion they once possessed, resolving disagreements in more effective ways, or fighting to exist as a loving partnership, building a secure emotional connection often lies at heart of it. As an emotionally-focused therapist (EFT), couples will be taught to recognize patterns that keep them trapped in conflict and interchange them with more adaptive patterns to assist them out of it. Through learning the principles of EFT, partners discover they can face new challenges together and develop a deep sense of emotional safety, security, and love.

Couple work is about supporting both partners as they work to support the relationship between them. The relationship is what you create, from the foundation up. It requires a plan, developed with strength and wisdom; built with equanimity and sacrifice; maintained with compassion and kindness. The rewards are endless. It requires each partner to put the other first, and when you do that, you both win.

I have been a couple therapist for over 10 years and have enjoyed every minute of it! I have found great success using Gottman and Solution-Focused Strategies. Couples seemed to appreciate these approaches, as they seem practical and easy to comprehend. As well, the Gottman resources and its foundation sound research have seemed to empower clients to take charge of their situations with confidence.
