Great Couples Counselling in Prince Rupert, BC. Therapy to heal relationships.

Are you and your partner struggling in your relationship? Do you argue a lot and want to learn better communication skills? Sexuality, finances and family are common stressors. Sexuality issues may include lack of desire, cheating, sexual addiction, porn, online sex or polyamory. There may have been sexual abuse, incest or other trauma. Many couples report that intimacy in their relationship is infrequent or has ended and they want to restore it. Anger, resentment, issues from previous relationships may be troubling you. My clients find me easy to talk to and discussion is respectful and frank. Your goal may be to strengthen your bond or maybe you need support to end an unhappy relationship

I offer Gottman Method Couples Therapy which is an evidence-based practice derived from decades of collected data with effective tools for couples to address areas of weakness and strengths within the relationship. This will entail a rigorous assessment process to determine treatment plan. I will be guiding the couples throughout the session and will be supporting couples coping tools during sessions.

When working with couples, I like to use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) which is clinically researched and proven to help support couples suffering from distress in their relationship. EFT helps couples to identify patterns that block each partner from getting their needs met and together, how to stop the pattern. Another method I use is The Gottman Method which focuses on lessening conflict and increasing intimacy, respect and affection. The therapy provides tools that integrates research-based interventions revolving around a Sound Relationship House.

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 don’t 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?

Embarking on a transformative journey with Eakin Counselling means recognizing and addressing the conflicts that often surface within relationships. I understand the complexities that can strain even the most loving connections. My relationship counseling services serve as companions on this journey, guiding individuals and couples through communication breakdowns, conflicts, and trust issues, ultimately fostering understanding and love. I believe that nurturing strong and healthy relationships is fundamental to a fulfilling life, and our approach to relationship, couples, and marriage counselling is rooted in deep insights, experience, and a profound understanding of the intricate dynamics

The first step with my approach to couples therapy is for us to establish rapport as you inform me of the problem that has brought you to therapy. I use a Choice Theory approach which includes defining more closely what each of you want for yourselves as individuals and the relationship as a whole. From there, we get to work on rebuilding trust in the relationship by enhancing communication skills so each of you feel listened to, heard, and respected. Then we can build on trust to establish the changes needed to restore the happiness that brought you together in the first place.
