Anyone in a relationship is a candidate for couples counselling. You do not have to be in a crisis or in deep conflict to benefit from this experience.

In fact, we encourage you to begin therapy with your partner before any larger conflicts arise, or resentment begins to form.

Think of this as creating a strong foundation and the building blocks for your relationship to stand on!

Having a professional to support you in pointing out your relationship patterns while providing you the tools needed to understand your partner and relationship in a deeper way can take you to that next level in your relationship.

Couples counselling provides a neutral and non-judgemental place for both partners to explore their thoughts and feelings. The clinician will assist in guiding you to the primary unmet needs at the source of your conflict. You will work together and individually to reach your relational and therapeutic goals. In contrary to what the films portray, you will often leave your sessions feeling more connected, understood and appreciated. 

By dedicating consistent time and attention to your relationship you can expect to:

• Gain awareness of the intergenerational patterns which show up in your relationship.

• Learn the tools to communicate to feel heard, seen, appreciated, and understood.

• Identify the cycle you are in to stop the consistent points of conflict that arise. 

• Build emotional connection and intimacy

• Uncover the blind spots that may be contributing to relational challenges

• Take away actionable and effective tools 

Through evidence-based practices we will pull from our gentle yet directive approach which is rooted in Emotion-Focused Therapy and Gottman Couples Therapy. The most important factor for change is the client’s willingness to arrive with an open mind and heart, as well as the ability to develop trust with the couples counsellor.
