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

Through mediation, psychoeducation and solution focused approaches, I support couples and families to recognize and resolve relational difficulties, improve relational challenges and develop courage to change what does not work - until desired outcomes are reached for all parties involved. This type of support can help couples and families achieve a deeper understanding of each other and settle differences or significantly improve existing dysfunctional patters in areas not limited to resolving communication differences, cultural differences, infidelity, separation, divorce, blended family issues, substance abuse, parenting etc.

When communication breaks down in relationships it can often lead to a disconnection from our partners which can seem irreparable. This can lead to a lack of intimacy, resentment, or mistrust towards each other. When a couple agrees to reach out for help, it shows a commitment to each other and an openness to change. When doing couples work it is a priority for me that each partner’s concerns and feelings are heard and addressed. This involves ensuring equal time for each person to talk about their concerns and needs as well as their goals for our work together. I have experience in working with heterosexual as well as same sex couples. Book a free consultation today.

When you choose to explore couple’s therapy, there is often a desire to connect with your partner but a piling up of unresolved emotions that may motivate you to seek help. As a therapist, I use that same desire to try to help you recognize the patterns of communication that are preventing you from understanding each other. I would like to validate both your experiences and foster a new kind of communication that can hold space for both your needs. If you are ready to rebuild your relationship, call now for a free consultation.

In couples therapy, I support partners in improving communication, rebuilding connection, and understanding relational patterns that contribute to conflict or distance. The focus is on creating safety in dialogue so each partner feels heard and understood. Couples are guided to move away from blame and toward shared understanding and repair.

All couples disagree or bicker from time to time, but when it turns into criticism, blaming and hostility, you may feel unhappy in your relationship.

Common concerns addressed in couples counselling may include communication, conflict resolution, power imbalances, trust, infidelity, or separation/divorce.

Relationships can be tough to navigate. We can be disappointed that our relationship doesn’t look or feel like the fairy tale from the movies. All couples experience challenges in their relationships at one point or another. We can find ourselves feeling alone even when our partner is in close proximity to us. We often turn towards negative coping strategies such as, fault finding, numbing, isolating or seeking an exit strategy, all in an effort to manage the pain. Are you wanting to increase connection, rebuild trust, repair the emotional bond and enhance intimacy? Together, we can explore how the disconnection has arisen in your relationship and how to find your way back to eachother.

In working with couples, the relationship is my client. My goal is to ensure that both partners feel heard and validated. I support the couple in creating space to have conversations that might otherwise be difficult to have. In working with me, couples will learn improved ways of communicating and being there for one another. They will also learn how to manage conflict in a way that is supportive of relationship growth. Further, the couples' strengths will be highlighted and accessed to continue to grow the relationship bond.

Taking time with your loved one can be a beautiful and fulfilling experience. However, it can feel challenging when you and your partner are stuck in previous patterns of behaviour, communication, and interaction. As a couple therapist, I will support you in better understanding yourself, your loved one, and your relationship to navigate challenges (e.g., communication, attachment, trust, etc.). I seek to enable you and your partner to work as a team in navigating whatever struggles come your way and developing your own unique toolkit.
