Great Couples Counselling in Southwold, ON. Therapy to heal relationships.

Over time we fall into communication patterns with our partners. Those patterns become most evident when we are stressed, as we can default to ways of relating to each other that doesn't serve us or our relationship. Learning to build new patterns of communication, more supportive and more connected communication patterns, can promote a healthier relationship, a deeper sense of connection and joy, and a more hopeful future.

Oftentimes the issues that couple's come to therapy to resolve are rooted in communication. In my experience, couple's can have a very hard time communicating in a way that is actually clear to their partner, and this causes miscommunication, misunderstanding and that usually results in defensiveness, anger, blaming and accusations of "not listening". I work with couple's to learn how to communicate effectively and clearly and how to approach conversations from a place of empathy, curiosity and caring.

Nothing is as rewarding or satisfying as a healthy, loving, intimate relationship and nothing is as damaging and destructive as an intimate relationship gone wrong. I offer premarriage counselling and I help heterosexual couples of all ages strengthen their relationship and increase trust. I also help couples repair and renew trust when it has been broken. While communication is important, trust is the most vital component to a healthy relationship. While my approach is eclectic.

It is known by many that relationships are not always easy to manage as they require dedication and commitment from each partner. I assist couples during counselling to learn skills to communicate more effectively, resolve their issues in a safe environment, strengthen their emotional connection, and learn strategies to preserve healthier relationships.
