Great Couples Counselling in South Bruce Peninsula, 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.

I specialize in working with couples in crisis because of a betrayal, trauma, PTSD, addictions, and ADHD. I am a registered gestalt therapist with somatic experiencing training out of California. If you or your partner's trauma is impacting your relationship I am here to support you both. Healing can happen. If you are unable to leave your home because of the lack of childcare available we can arrange sessions for you and your partner once the kids are all tucked in or during the weekends! Couples therapy can be done very effectively via tele-therapy. Give me a chance to help you rescue your shitty relationship! -The tile of my soon to be published book- The Shitty Relationship

A loving relationship can be a source of profound connecting and security, and as with many aspects of life worth pursuing, it requires nurturing. As a therapist, I am deeply committed to creating a warm, safe, and inclusive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful growth and change in their lives.

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.

Couples therapy and counselling aim to create a compassionate and dedicated space where partners can explore negative dynamics that are hindering their relationship. From a humanistic perspective, the goal is to focus on understanding each partner’s unique experiences and feelings and how these show up in our relationships with others. When we acknowledge and begin to address key issues in the relationship, such as conflict, loss of intimacy or a diminished connection the goal is to help guide couples through a rediscovery of each other, one that works to foster empathy, encourage open dialogue, and create moments of reconnection and reconciliation. I use a mix of the Gottman Method and EFT

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.
