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

In couples counselling, I collaborate with clients to increase their relational satisfaction. Through a safe and neutral environment, both partners are guided to express their thoughts and emotions, openly. Techniques that I often employ include active listening, empathy-building and conflict resolution skills. I help couples to identify their negative patterns and encourage development of interaction strategies that are more supportive of the relationship. Couples can expect to gain a deeper understanding of each other and practical tools that allow them to manage disagreements constructively.

A committed relationship has its ups and downs. People change and life challenges can cause stress. I help couples explore their individual needs and what they want in a relationship. Sometimes a quiet hour to reconnect with your partner is all it takes to rekindle the love that brought you together. By exploring how a couple manages communication,conflict and division of tasks can also eliminate stress that interferes with intimacy. However, I also offer a safe place to process the end of relationships.

My work with couples focuses on working through the challenges and processing the feelings that addiction can bring into a relationship. Whether it’s learning strategies to navigate the chaos of the ongoing addiction or repairing the damage after its ended, I provide couples a safe and nonjudgmental space to talk about their unique feelings and experiences. I help couples process their anger, hurt and shame, repair the broken trust and learn to support one another more effectively. Couples have a renewed sense of connection, greater resiliency to handle challenges, and hope for their future as a couple.

A loving relationship can be a source of profound connecting and security, and as with many aspects of life worth pursuing, it requires nurturing. While I do not offer couple therapy sessions, we have many couple and family therapists at Psychotherapy Collective, my online clinic who are availability to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure they are the proper fit for your journey.

In our ‘significant other’ partnerships we want what we've always wanted: friend for life, passionate fulfillment, unconditional acceptance and love, loyalty, refuge from aloneness… So why do we stop ‘dating’ her/him? Getting this close to someone often has unexpected but predictable consequences: we eventually discover significant differences that ‘disturb’ us. How we interpret these then act toward one another accordingly, is key. However, this can be complicated. Good ‘Couple/Marital Therapy’ respects our complexity. And seeks to transform it from conflict into ‘richness and abundance’ (or end it gracefully). I bring many reliable methods/ resources to support couples desiring growth.

Just as J.F.K. said: "Ask not what you can get form your country, but what you can GIVE to your country", so is a couple's relationship. It is not what we can get from our partner, but how do we learn to love them and care for them in a way that makes us feel good, dignified and respectable. Love may not have much to do with this: do we LIKE each other? How do we co-create a safe heaven, a secure base in which we feel nurtured, liked, respected and protected, yet free to be who we really are? What kind of communication is most effective?

Couple counseling in both hetero and homo sexual realtionships has the same starting point of communication, trust, and respect. As a professional using Interpersonal Communication techniques I would help the couple come to understand not only each other as a couple but also themselves as an individual in the couple's relationship. By role modeling an unbias position I will help lend a new perspective to the couple's relationship issues that may not have been seen through the day-to-day routine of their busy lives.

My background in relational therapy allows me to understand individuals through the relationships they cohabit. Couple therapy may be a vehicle for growth to occur both relationally and individually. This in turn may assist in bringing you closer to your desired goals through understanding and breaking down language used in romantic relationships. Throughout couple sessions, I lean towards emotionally focused therapy, as I have witnessed its transformative effects particularly in romantic relationships. Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to determine if we would be a good fit.

My approach to couples therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and emotional safety. Using the Gottman Method, I help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. Sessions focus on understanding each partner’s needs, improving conflict resolution, and fostering appreciation and empathy within the relationship. By learning to navigate differences with care and curiosity, couples can shift from disconnection to understanding, creating a stronger and more resilient partnership built on mutual respect, shared meaning, and lasting emotional intimacy.

In working with couples, the relationship is my client. My goal is to ensure that both partners feel heard and validated. I support the couple in creating space to have conversations that might otherwise be difficult to have. In working with me, couples will learn improved ways of communicating and being there for one another. They will also learn how to manage conflict in a way that is supportive of relationship growth. Further, the couples' strengths will be highlighted and accessed to continue to grow the relationship bond.
