Great Couples Counselling in North York, ON. Therapy to heal relationships.

You can have an even better relationship! I work with you to identify what your issues are. We learn what your communication issues are, what is working and what is not in your relationship and implement practical action plans to improve this. Further, we identify your negative patterns of relating to each other and how this is a habit that hurts the relationship, and we learn how to get out of that pattern, shift behaviors, and relate in the most respectful, loving, kind manner which ultimately often improves your sex life, your happiness, and your fulfillment.

My primary specialty area is in working with couples and relationships. It is my belief that the relationship I have with myself is the best predictor of every other relationship I will have. So doing couples' work is also, in some ways, doing individual work. Your relationship does not exist within you, or within your partner, but is a separate entity that exists in what I call 'the space between.' If you tend the relationship and feed it positive energy, it will stay healthy and positive. So whether your relationship is in a difficult state, or you just want to make it better, contact me and we can address your goals. I work with hetero, same-sex and alternative lifestyle couples.

In 2015, I began studying the PACT (Psychobiological) Model for Couples Therapy. Using this model, I am passionate about working with couples. Based on "secure-functioning", you discover exactly, what you wanted but didn't know how to get there. Increasing your awareness on many levels gives you many more options. Discover how you and your partner can feel the way you long to feel and experience a warm safe loving relationship. Rediscover the promise held within the love and attraction that brought you together.

Winnie provides non-judgemental and compassionate couple therapy. In dealing with Couples counselling she primarily draws from her training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is the most progressive and well researched therapeutic interventions used in Couples Therapy. By using this practical and effective method, the goal is to help couples to identify their cycle, how they are connecting in their distressing patterns, and how they can be helped to reconnect again in a new pattern. Winnie has also attended the Intensive Sex Therapy course at University of Guelph.

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.

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?

When working with couples the basis for most sessions is to work on communication. Men and women are different. They are different in how they talk, listen and solve problems. Couples have to be taught to embrace these differences and understand them; instead of fighting them and resenting them. Through counseling, couples will learn how to fight fairly, communicate more effectively and be heard when they need to talk. They will learn how to work together and not against each other. They will learn how to be partners that support each other.

Relationships are vital to life but are also messy and hard. I am passionate about helping couples cultivate better relationships with each other. In a safe, nonjudgmental and compassion-filled therapeutic relationship, I will work with you to understand your relationship patterns and help you identify ways to change that will help you build a stronger & deeper connection, and open the door to a more fulfilling relationship.
