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.

Family Systems theory is primarily focused on three areas. These are individuals, couples, and families (including children). Couples therapy focuses exclusively on the couple's dyad. 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. My training is an evidence-based model utilizing tested interventions to support couples through times of transition or recognition. Book a free consultation

Couples can often feel disconnected and can have long standing patterns of interaction which feel like they can't move away from, no matter how hard they try. Couples work can help unlock this feeling of 'lock down' and help people understand the pain and fear under the behaviours -their own and their partner's. Through exploring together couples can heal old wounds and begin to feel safe, understood, connected, engaged, and fulfilled bringing vitality back to the relationship.

Couple Counselling Therapy involves learning how to do the following and much more: love your partner and be loved in return, reconnect with that person you fell in love with, communicate and be heard, transcend the spoken words to truly understand the meaning and importance of your partner's communication. This process necessitates a vision that neither partner is right or wrong and that the other has very different needs that we will probably not understand but that we will need to make central.

Communication is key to any relationship. It allows for emotions and thoughts to be explained and explored with others. Communication issues within a relationship can occur as a result of misunderstandings, heightened emotions and lack of validation. Communication is not just words; it also occurs through non-verbal communication. Body language and facial reactions are focused on and analyzed. This can cause frustration and criticism between those in the relationship. It becomes important to listen to what each other is saying as opposed to convincing the other person of your perspective.

Two people often enter into commitment with a shared vision for their life together. In the hecticness, chaos, and personal quests on the journey of life, we encounter obstacles that affect each individual involved, ultimately affecting the relationship. We can become disconnected and feel like the relationship is no longer vibrant, emotionally safe, reassuring or fulfilling. My approach to couples counselling is to facilitate an emotionally safe space to come together to look at, share, and sort through: what has happened on your journey, what is happening now, and how to change limiting patterns, beliefs and communication styles to get to that desired vision of a love-filled life together.

Couples are sometimes stuck in their cycle of communication where the "dance" has stopped and no one can move smoothly. Negative patterns have taken hold and both partners are caught in a rut. In a supportive and empathic environment I help clients understand and experience where they have been caught in their cycle, where they no longer hear or understand their partner. With new insights and understanding they become able to hear the music again, join the flow and move ahead with new choices in a clearer channel of communication.

When it comes to couples, the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore, in couple therapy, the focus is not on the two sides of the equation. Rather, the object of inquiry and therapy is the relationship between those two sides. The therapy examines the interpersonal relationship and treats it as a third space. Therefore, the goal is not to change the individuals but to change the way they communicate, understand, and accept each other. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
