Great Couples Counselling in Pontiac, QC. Therapy to heal relationships.

Relationships are important to our well being. Being together with another individual is not always easy and with the wear and tear of life’s issues and traumas it can be very difficult… Every relationship has its ups and downs but if you’re stuck in a negative holding pattern come and have a free consultation with me to see if I’m the right person for the two of you to rekindle your relationship. I have a Graduate Certificate in Couples Counselling from Saint Paul University (an affiliate of the University of Ottawa) and working with couples is my specialty. You establish your goals and I assist you in achieving them. It is possible for you to reconnect with your partner.

As a 'poly' positive therapist, I celebrate all the ways couples and people in relationships may live and love. I welcome people of all genders and non-gender identifying experiences, polyamorous and non-monogamous people, 2SLGBTQ+ community members, and families of all identities. Often sessions with both individuals and the family unit are required. Together we will discuss everyone's needs and work out a customized plan to address the unique path of each group/couple.

Couples who are deciding whether to invest further in their relationship, who want marriage preparation, want to deepen their love, heal hurts or rekindle relationship are all couples we work with. At Sandra Forbes, Relarionship Solutions, we assess communication, emotional closeness, attachment, and trust. From there goals are defined and the purpose for the sessions is established. The walk toward a deeper love and closeness, healling a hurt or hurts, improving the way couples talk with one another or preparing for marriage is guided by a structured approach to the therapy. The head and heart are both the focus.

Couples counseling with me focuses on improving communication, increasing intimacy, and building a strong, lasting relationship. I use the Gottman method, which is an evidence-based approach that has been proven to be effective in helping couples work through issues and strengthen their connection. This approach emphasizes the importance of building a strong foundation of friendship, managing conflict effectively, and creating shared meaning in the relationship. Through counseling, couples can learn new skills to help them navigate challenges and deepen their bond. By working together, couples can improve their relationship satisfaction and build a fulfilling life together.
