Great Couples Counselling in New Tecumseth, ON. Therapy to heal relationships.

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. For more information see www.iceeft.com &/or email me for an initial interview.

Therapy with couples is amongst the most rewarding aspects of my work as a therapist. Not much gives me greater pleasure than helping couples develop a deeper understanding of both their situation and of one another that leads to a more meaningful and enjoyable shared life. In my experience, couples can make incredible progress when both parties are motivated to improve the quality of their relationship and learn to love one another in healthier, more fulfilling ways.

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.

You are at the end of your rope. You love your partner, you don't want to end the relationship but your partner is so distant and disconnected, so you are looking for help. Perhaps you just found out the awful truth that your partner is having an affair.

Our team specializes is in working with couple relationships. We practice Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples; one of the most researched and effective ways to treat couple distress. Our goal is to help couples create secure and meaningful connections so that they no longer need the assistance of a couples therapist and are able to work through life's challenges on their own.

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.

Relationships are very complex. They have the potential to enrich our lives if we let them. They require flexibility and compromise, good communication skills, and an awareness of ourselves as individuals. A couple is made up of two unique individuals who come from very different family backgrounds and who bring diverse beliefs and perspectives into the relationship. It's no wonder that difficulties arise. It is common for partners to get caught up in negative, destructive cycles that unless stopped, can propel the relationship into greater disharmony. Couples therapy can lead to a deeper and more meaningful relationship.

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.

The relationship you have with your significant other can bring you love, joy, and a sense of fulfillment. When things aren't going well, your relationship can often be exhausting and painful. Couples therapy provides a space for both of you to be heard and can help you discover and process the root of the issue, and communicate in a more connected way. Therapy is hard work, but when both partners are willing to fight for the relationship, great things can happen.

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.

Couples counselling in my sessions includes communication styles and changes, understanding each person's perspective, and more awareness of oneself in the relationship. Healthy attitudes and behaviours are explored together. Sometimes individual therapy is suggested alongside couples therapy if there are more severe issues in the relationship. Couples may include pre-marital, married, partners, separated, or even good friends who want relationship growth.

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.

When I work with couples my focus is on helping them track the pattern of arguing they are currently trapped in--have you ever felt like you have the same argument with your spouse over and over but nothing ever gets resolved?

People often come to couples therapy when there is an issue or conflict that can't be resolved. Couples therapy provides a space to have a third person (the therapist) guide the couple through communicating with one another, using active listening, finding shared goals, and looking for the meaning in how each person reacts to conflict or problems in their own way.

Do you feel unsatisfied in your relationship or disconnected from your partner? 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. Through both joint and individual counselling sessions, we will work together to change dysfunctional patterns of behaviour and help rebuild communication, intimacy, security and trust. Common concerns addressed in couples counselling may include communication, conflict resolution, power imbalances, trust, infidelity, or separation/divorce.

I offer supportive couples counseling to help partners improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild emotional connection. In a safe and neutral space, I guide couples to better understand each other’s needs and learn healthier ways of relating. Using the Gottman Method, Imago Relationship Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, I help partners create greater trust, intimacy, and satisfaction in their relationship.

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.
