Being in a healthy relationship is fulfilling and requires ongoing care.
Couples Counselling
Frequently couples find their relationship stuck in unhealthy negative patterns, repeating the same interactions again and again. They desire change but are unsure how to interrupt these unhealthy cycles. As time goes on, disconnection sets into their relationship and they begin leading separate but parallel lives in the same household, leaving them feeling frustrated and alone in the relationship.
The pandemic had increased stress in many relationships which have been aggravated by the impact of social distancing and quarantining. Couples differ in their responses to crises or sudden ‘threats’ to emotional or physical safety. Our virtual sessions are constructed to assist partners in increasing their understanding of themselves and their partner with the goal of improving their relationship and connection. Click here for a list of tips and techniques to help you get the most out of your sessions.
Our goal is to help you and your partner uncover the underlying causes of the interaction patterns that leave you feeling isolated or frustrated. Together, we will explore your experiences within the relationship and support you in expressing your feelings to each other in a constructive, compassionate way. Through this process, you’ll gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of one another, helping you make sense of the triggers that have driven you apart.
As this insight grows, it will open the door to healing and create space for new, more fulfilling ways of relating to each other. You and your partner will learn to communicate more effectively, understand each other’s needs more clearly, and strengthen your connection — turning toward one another in times of stress rather than away.
“Being the 'best you can be' is really only possible when you are deeply connected to another. Splendid isolation is for planets, not people.”
