Great Couples Counselling in Waldheim, SK. Therapy to heal relationships.

At Crossroads Therapeutic Solutions we have counsellors dedicated to helping you build a healthy relationship with your Partner. Our counsellors will help couples identify patterns of behavior, understand each other's perspectives, and develop strategies for resolving issues. All of the counsellors at Crossroads Therapeutic Solutions acknowledge and respect the diversity of relationships, including all orientations, ethnicities, and backgrounds.

In couples therapy we would use art therapy in some of the sessions as a way of creating a mutual safe place between partners. I would also explore language and establish identifiable issues that we could set concrete goals around. I am a big follower of the Gottman Insitute, which emphasizes the importance of establishing the 'dream within the position' of each partner. I believe that this allows us to explore hurts that each partner is bringing into the relationship, and the dreams that they similarly have for the relationship. In couples therapy we would set small concrete goals each session, and always do 'check-ins' as a way of maintaining and learning emotional safety.

Restore trust, build hope and regain affection, joy, communication, intimacy, companionship, and passion in your relationship. Relationships can face stress due to financial strain, physical, emotional, or mental illness, infidelity, life transitions, job loss, blending families, or changing values. Feelings of distance and betrayal, anger and hurt, and ongoing conflict can creep in and replace intimacy and trust. Couples counselling can help you to communicate better, resolve conflict, rebuild trust and intimacy, forgive each other, and have hope. I use both emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and Gottman approaches to help you make healthy changes in your relationship.

Every couple is unique and it is important for them to realize that they often bring different personality styles to the relationship. Couples' learn how they are different, how to see these differences as a strength, and how these differences are communicated. Couple's learn how to assess their emotional intimacy, choose where they wish to start and are in charge of the change process.

A couple can truly love each other, but also find themselves continually hurt by the other person's behaviour, silence, or choices. Communication, vulnerability, seeking to feel respected and cherished, are all vital for a relationship to thrive. Specifically, some elements of communication and roles being placed on each other may need to be recognized and re-evaluated.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties dont agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

I work with couples using Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and communication/conflict management techniques to identify the sources of their relationship distress, elicit unmet needs, and unhealthy/pathological relational patterns and to work at transforming these habits, patterns, into healthy ones. I also value the opportunity to support couples to be more emotionally attuned and responsive towards each other for the health and growth of their relationship and each individual in it.

The practices of narrative therapy often challenge simple explanations of objective truth. Our lives are seen as multi-storied, rich with details and diverse experiences. In narrative therapy, we seek the neglected aspects of our stories that have been given less power and visibility. In my work with couples, externalization allows for the excavation of affirmative stories that are hidden beneath problems such as blame, conflict, and disconnection.

Bev loves working with couples at any stage of relating. She is experienced with pre-marital counselling, has worked with blended families and has seen techniques bring about peaceful, growing relationships rather than conflictive, alienating feuds. She has worked with couples who are trying to recover after an affair. She has worked with couples stuggling with mid-life issues. Bev guides couples in hearing each other using Active Listening and coaches her clients through the delicate process. Bev equips clients with a problem-solving format if that is what they need. Bev also works with couples whose marriages seem to be over. She helps those who are stuggling with separation/divorce.

When you look back on 2018, will it be hand-in-hand with your loving partner in the relationship of your dreams--or will it be from the other side of the bed, after another fight about the same old thing? If your relationship is rocky--not for lack of trying--but for lack of being able to get through to one another, couples counseling can be (and in my experience, most definitely is) a critical turning point.

Relationships evolve over time, so naturally, people encounter moments where they might feel disconnected, stuck in cycles of conflict and misunderstanding, and may feel like ending the relationship is the only option. In couples counselling we will collaboratively work on creating safe and supportive environments where you work towards addressing the problems, rather than being against each other. Couples counselling aims to uncover underlying emotions and needs that exaggerate distress, disagreements, and conflict. My approach emphasizes collaboration, care, and consistency.

Being in a deep and meaningful relationship is great. Sometimes that relationship goes off track. The Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach is based on building that hoped for future and will help you to created the future of which you and your partner dream. Learn the key ingredients to ensure your relationship is protected from all problems.
