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

Relationships are not always easy; we are delicately balancing the needs of ourselves as individuals and the needs of the other within one space. When a couple comes in for counselling, we explore this field between you both, and see how to shift some relationship patterns in order for you both to better understand, and hear each other. From here we can make the adjustments necessary for you both to get what you need from the relationship. And, if moving away from each other is what will move one, or both of you to where you want to go, we navigate these physical, mental, and emotional changes and challenges safely and nonjuddmentally, for the wellbeing of everyone involved.

This connection is affected by many factors: Past childhood experiences of family life, current parenting and grandparenting, blended families after a divorce, intimacy, sexuality, employment stress, financial obligations, and supporting your parents even when you are an adult. This list, though not exhaustive, points to the complexity of couplehood.
