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

I provide a safe and empathetic space where both partners can explore and address the challenges they are facing in their relationship. Through a combination of evidence-based modalities such as EFT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and communication skills training, I assist couples in enhancing their emotional connection, improving communication, and resolving conflicts. By fostering understanding, promoting effective problem-solving, and facilitating healing, couples can experience increased intimacy, stronger bonds, and a renewed sense of love and partnership. Together, we work towards creating a healthier and more fulfilling relationship that supports long-term growth and happiness.

Couples therapy with me is not about teaching communication tricks or conflict avoidance. It is about helping two people understand the deeper emotional systems at play between them. We look at the invisible patterns such as cycles of pursuit and withdrawal, criticism and defensiveness, disconnection and repair that often operate beneath the surface of conversations. My approach is relational and emotionally focused but also grounded in depth psychology and cognitive science. Together, we examine how each partner’s history, wounds, and protective strategies collide to create patterns that neither wants but both participate in. The goal is to build a new relational system.

Over the course of your relationship, you are going to face its ups and downs. Learning how to meet all that life may throw at you, together as a couple and grow stronger in each experience are just some of the many benefits of couples counselling I provide. I help you develop the tools you need for when your relationship goes through a tough time. You'll learn how trust and open to your partner and feel safe, how to respond to your partner's needs during the good and the bad times, keep moving forward and blooming as the time goes by.

Relationship’s dynamics can be challenging to navigate even during the best of times, and couple therapy can help partners find new ways to relate, connect, and communicate with each other. Asking for what you want and need in a relationship can be scary, so therapy should be a safe space where you and your partner feel comfortable exploring your needs and expectations together. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore patterns of interaction that they want to strengthen or change in their relationships, as well as holding space for vulnerability and connection.

Shauna provides a well structured attachment based couple therapy that is systemic, psychotherapeutic, and experiential. Negative patterns of interaction that often include misunderstandings of one's partner's experience, emotions, and intentions are carefully unpacked while the original bond of safety and care is re-established. Relationships become more loving, healthy and satisfying.

Through the highly successful process of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples developed by Sue Johnson, with whom I have trained, I enjoy working with couples who are striving to create and maintain a safe loving and dynamic relationship by deepening their experiences of love and trust. There are many factors that can get us off track from having the relationship we desire and deserve. Learning simple ways of communicating, sharing experience and engaging our compassion can enhance our abilities for loving intimacy. The EFT process is very accessible with a high success rate.

Our couples counselling approach include increasing closeness and friendship behaviours, addressing conflict productively, and building a life of shared meaning together. Therapy is more structured and involves customizing principles from research to each couple’s particular patterns and challenges. It focuses on developing understanding and skills so that partners can get their needs met (especially when they are hurting), manage conflict, and learn how to repair their relationship when necessary, even in cases of infidelity. Overall, the goals of Meristem's approach is to assist couples in achieving a greater sense of understanding, respect, awareness and empathy toward each other.

Ray has completed her level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and uses Gottman Method Couples Therapy along with Emotion Focused Therapy in her therapy work.

Ray also is a Certified Educator of Dr. John Gottman's 7 Principles that Make Marriage (and any partner relationship) Work. There are workshops currently being planned in the Orangeville area.

Healthy relationships and emotional connection are typically fostered by effective communication and boundaries. Therapy can help you and your partner understand the patterns you are currently feeling stuck in and learn how to communicate each of your needs and perspectives from a place of vulnerability, compassion, and care.

This service is not solely for romantic partners, which is why I use the term 'Relationship Counselling' and not 'Couples Counselling'. The relationship involved may be between co-workers, family members or two individuals in a professional or business arrangement. Relationship counselling involves guiding the members of a human relationship in order to enhance what is working, improve communication, and address areas of disconnect or conflict.

Dr. Van Blyderveen offers Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples. This approach is evidence based and has a greater success rate than traditional couple's therapy.

During therapy sessions Dr. Van Blyderveen will guide you and your partner through emotional conversations with one another with the goal of improving closeness, connection, and acceptance of one another.

Marriage and significant relationships have more pressure on them than ever before. In a technology based, social networking world with financial pressures and other major issues, couples need to put increasingly more time and effort into nourishing their relationship. Many do not take that time. As a result, relationships become “stuck’ or even “toxic” over time. In sessions, couples will learn how to interact and relate to each other on a deeper level. They will learn effective communication skills, strategies and tools. Couples will also participate in learning about their own specific ways of showing love and their own love style.

I provide a supportive space for you and your partner to strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and work through challenges together. Whether you’re dealing with conflict, trust issues, or feeling disconnected, I help you better understand each other’s needs and rebuild closeness. Together, we explore healthier ways to resolve differences, deepen intimacy, and create a stronger, more fulfilling partnership that supports both of you and your relationship.

I support couples at any stage of their relationship, who are seeking to strengthen their bonds and appreciation for one another by identifying potential negative interaction cycles, fostering respectful communication and repair focused on understanding each other’s needs. My hope is you are able to reconnect with your partner in a meaningful way and refoster and strengthen the foundation of friendship amongst you.

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.

Over the years I have worked with many configurations of couples; same sex, open, non-binary. I tend to draw from an emotionally-focussed approach and find moments of tender vulnerability to be so profoundly healing. I also really enjoy creative "out of the box" outdoor experiential activities that I orchestrate based on the particular couple and their concerns. I find these activities can become playful and bonding for couples.

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?
