Great Couples Counselling in Saugeen Shores, ON. Therapy to heal relationships.

Divorce & Remarriage Our 40years of experience working with the dynamics of divorce and remarriage has shown us that unless an individual having gone through the divorce process, will inevitably be attracted to a similar personality type of the divorced spouse, commit themselves to re-marriage and find out within a few short months that they have re-married their ex-spouse even though the individual they married is a totally different personality. The resulting relationship becomes a repeat of marital history and marital discord, the very reason individuals sought divorce from their original spouse. The trauma of this process can be avoided if the individual having been divorced seeks person

Couple therapy is a broad term for those who wish to address relationship concerns or would like assistance in navigating their relationship. Presenting topics may include breaches of trust, infidelity, (co)parenting, sex and intimacy, separation, exploration of relationship structure or general conflict and arguments. Often times, at nobody’s fault, couples may get caught in patterns of interaction that bring a lot of pain to the relationship. I will assist you in identifying these harmful interactions and work towards breaking that cycle with new ways of relating to each other. I am affirming of polyamorous and ethical non-monogamous relationships. Contact me to book a free consultation.

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.

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. I work with individuals, couples and families. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

Couples therapy can be one of the hardest therapies to experience. When clients wait until one person is ready to leave the relationship, reconciliation feels doomed. With hard work and both partners willing to re-connect, learn different communication strategies, and how to handle conflict constructively, most couples can stay together. Couples therapy can be one of the most rewarding therapies to experience. When couples come to therapy as a preventive measure, couples can take their relationship to new levels of intimacy, connection, communication and joy. Couples therapy can be healing for couples who have decided they can no longer be together but want to end amicably.

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.
