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

Our love relationships can enhance our well being and add to the joy of life. Sometimes couples lose connection with one another and end up feeling lonely. They have a hard time knowing whether to stay or leave. Couples counselling can provide a roadmap to healing hurts, building healthier communication and rebuilding love and trust. I use Transformative Couples Therapy (TCT) which is a compassionate non-judgemental approach.

Taking time with your loved one can be a beautiful and fulfilling experience. However, it can feel challenging when you and your partner are stuck in previous patterns of behaviour, communication, and interaction. As a couple therapist, I will support you in better understanding yourself, your loved one, and your relationship to navigate challenges (e.g., communication, attachment, trust, etc.). I seek to enable you and your partner to work as a team in navigating whatever struggles come your way and developing your own unique toolkit.

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

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.

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

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.

A loving relationship can be a source of profound connecting and security, and as with many aspects of life worth pursuing, it requires nurturing.
