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

I LOVE working with couples. I believe relationships require empathy, openness and effort. I embrace diversity of all kinds and encourage you to seek help as soon as the pattern between you is stuck. Even one visit to a therapist's office can help you see that change is possible and achievable with even a small amount of effort.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to witness profound transformations, such as couples moving from disconnection and resentment to deep emotional intimacy and renewed trust   Couples counselling helps you explore and understand the challenges you're facing together. Common topics include: Communication, intimacy, trust, finances, extended family, parenting styles (if children are involved), and problem-solving. Our session time offers a safe space to work through the conflict and build a stronger connection.

Couple counseling in both hetero and homo sexual realtionships has the same starting point of communication, trust, and respect. As a professional using Interpersonal Communication techniques I would help the couple come to understand not only each other as a couple but also themselves as an individual in the couple's relationship. By role modeling an unbias position I will help lend a new perspective to the couple's relationship issues that may not have been seen through the day-to-day routine of their busy lives.

In my work with couples, I encourage each individual to understand their role in conflict so that they can take ownership and make new decisions that prioritize the relationship. Through these conversations, each person can begin to develop compassion for their partner, so new ways of being can help the relationship grow while strengthening the connection.

In our ‘significant other’ partnerships we want what we've always wanted: friend for life, passionate fulfillment, unconditional acceptance and love, loyalty, refuge from aloneness… So why do we stop ‘dating’ her/him? Getting this close to someone often has unexpected but predictable consequences: we eventually discover significant differences that ‘disturb’ us. How we interpret these then act toward one another accordingly, is key. However, this can be complicated. Good ‘Couple/Marital Therapy’ respects our complexity. And seeks to transform it from conflict into ‘richness and abundance’ (or end it gracefully). I bring many reliable methods/ resources to support couples desiring growth.

My approach to couples counseling focuses on helping men struggling in relationships gain deeper self-awareness, emotional insight, and healthier communication skills. While couples therapy typically involves both partners, individual therapy can be a powerful way for men to explore their own relational patterns, attachment styles, and emotional responses that may be affecting their relationships. Using a psychodynamic approach, we work to uncover unconscious beliefs and past experiences that shape how you connect with your partner. By understanding these deeper influences, you can improve communication, navigate conflict more effectively, and foster greater emotional intimacy. Strengthening

Friend, lover, husband, wife, partner, intimate co-creator / intimate enemy: the options of what way couple therapy can help are many. I have over 40 years experience with couples of every variety (straight, lesbian, gay, swingers and so on) and have always found the balance both within each person as well as between the partners as key. Couples - even when in Big Time Conflict - can learn what other choices they have: as individuals and as a working team. The balancing of power between self and one’s partner is the key learning that is often needed. Inevitably both people have areas of esteem - but also areas of vulnerability. It takes risking, but change and healing are possible.

My approach to couples therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and emotional safety. Using the Gottman Method, I help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. Sessions focus on understanding each partner’s needs, improving conflict resolution, and fostering appreciation and empathy within the relationship. By learning to navigate differences with care and curiosity, couples can shift from disconnection to understanding, creating a stronger and more resilient partnership built on mutual respect, shared meaning, and lasting emotional intimacy.

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.

Intimate relationships are like a dance – they can be quite joyful and energizing but when facing obstacles, partners need to find the steps and rhythm to move more freely. Couple therapy can provide a safe space in which you and your partner can gain a deeper understanding of one another and what contributes to difficulties within the dance of your relationship. Should you decide to attend sessions, I will work with you to facilitate honest conversations, help you to better understand what you may need from one another, and support you in finding a way to step toward more acceptance, intimacy, and connection. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

My background in relational therapy allows me to understand individuals through the relationships they cohabit. Couple therapy may be a vehicle for growth to occur both relationally and individually. This in turn may assist in bringing you closer to your desired goals through understanding and breaking down language used in romantic relationships. Throughout couple sessions, I lean towards emotionally focused therapy, as I have witnessed its transformative effects particularly in romantic relationships. Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to determine if we would be a good fit.

If you are coming to couples therapy, you and your partner have developed unhealthy patterns of relating. I will help you overcome your toxic communication patterns.

I believe that a healthy couple's relationship is one of the most challenging types of relationships to develop and sustain. This is because a couple’s relationship requires that the couple juggle and balance well at least three types of relationship with each other. When all 3 types of relationships are functioning well between a couple, each individual will feel loved, valued, and respected; and the couple will be able to resolve conflict well and set and achieve common goals collaboratively. Through counseling, I can help you improve how you relate to each other as friends, partners and lovers. Instead of being and operating as individuals, you can be and operate as a true couple.

Just as J.F.K. said: "Ask not what you can get form your country, but what you can GIVE to your country", so is a couple's relationship. It is not what we can get from our partner, but how do we learn to love them and care for them in a way that makes us feel good, dignified and respectable. Love may not have much to do with this: do we LIKE each other? How do we co-create a safe heaven, a secure base in which we feel nurtured, liked, respected and protected, yet free to be who we really are? What kind of communication is most effective?

Nothing is as rewarding or satisfying as a healthy, loving, intimate relationship and nothing is as damaging and destructive as an intimate relationship gone wrong. I offer premarriage counselling and I help heterosexual couples of all ages strengthen their relationship and increase trust. I also help couples repair and renew trust when it has been broken. While communication is important, trust is the most vital component to a healthy relationship. My approach is eclectic.
