Couples Counselling

Great relationships don’t just fall into our laps. They require people to move through their fears and insecurities and do the hard work to move wounds into healing. ”

Every relationship has their challenges.

The real problems start when we get too focused on the imperfections.

When it’s time to seek support:

You’re stuck in a pattern of conflict and your communication just isn’t working for you. One person tends to shut down, while the other keeps trying to fix things. The fighting is taking a toll on your relationship and you need help to restore the love and connection you once had.

  1. You don’t feel heard.

  2. You can’t find a compromise.

  3. You can’t envision a positive future.

  4. You feel stuck.

  5. You have the same fights over and over again.

  6. You don’t feel supported.

  7. You have trouble trusting.

  8. Making decisions together seems impossible.

 

The beginning of a relationship is an exciting time.

It is full of emotion and hope and the focus is on nurturing and building a partnership. But… over time, things change. Life becomes hectic. In the midst of being busy and preoccupied with every day life, you can start to drift apart without noticing. You can’t prevent this drift, it’s natural.

The trick is noticing when the distance gets too big, and knowing how to pull each other back in, or whether its time to break up. This is when therapy can help.

 

We view couples therapy as a joint process between you, your partner, and your therapist working towards a common goal — to empower the change your relationship needs and improve the quality of your lives — both now and in the future.

Couples counselling can be a great resource while you’re going through a specific life event, like managing a relationship crisis or a potential break-up or divorce. It can help you with those issues that are hard to face on your own while empowering you to overcome those obstacles that are hindering your relationship and your individual well-being.

But it can also just be about strengthening and reconnecting to your relationship, or providing ongoing support as you move through life together. In this sense, pre-marriage and couples counselling sessions can be preventative. You and your partner will be in a much better position to nip larger issues in the bud before they become insurmountable.
