Couples Counselling Services
When a couple is struggling they often find it impossible to understand each other's point of view. Arguments are frequent and unproductive or a cold distance defines the relationship. What was once a source of joy and comfort now feels painful, distressing and at times even hopeless. Couples counselling helps by creating a framework for communication and understanding. While each couple's challenges are unique, it is often the case that they need to learn to genuinely listen to each other's thoughts and feelings. They may need help in learning how to talk to each other in clear, straightforward, and constructive ways so that discussions stay productive and on track. As each couple's framework of understanding is strengthened, and more effective communication put in place, problems can be properly understood and addressed.
Challenges that have led couples to seek professional couples counselling:
“We don't communicate.”
“Trust has been broken.”
“We need to rekindle our friendship.”
“Outside stressors have damaged our
relationship.”
“We love being parents, but we have lost
touch with each other.”
“We love each other, but we are now
doubting if our love will prevail against
our blended family challenges.”
“We are under too much pressure from
extended family members.”
As a Registered Social Worker since 2004, I have been committed through the years to ongoing professional development and education, including Gottman Level 2.
