COUPLES COUNSELLING

Relationships are beautiful, and relationships are complicated.

​

While partnerships can be a source of strength and joy, they can also be a source of stress and strain-- especially when ​​we continue to engage in the same negative cycles and patterns again and again, with little to no change.  

​

​This can lead to relationship dysfunction if not attended to. Dysfunction in a relationship may show up as: 

​

Anger or Resentment 

Unmet needs

Avoidance or neglect

Miscommunication and/or shutdown​

​

Sometimes we need a little extra help. 

This can come in the form of couples counselling. Couples counselling allows the opportunity for you and your partner to unpack your current struggles and bring a voice to your unmet needs - all with a qualified therapist. 

Couples counselling allows a chance for each partner to have an opportunity to share their story and work with the therapist to begin to identify how their behaviours and communication may be impacting and contributing to current negative patterns/cycles. Couples counselling also allows opportunity to practice new skills and awareness with your partner, and begin to engage in healthier, more beneficial cycles together. 

​

How couples therapy may benefit you: 

​

healthy communication & boundary setting 

​

​​​

Increase your ability to cope through difficulties together 

​

Deepen your bond through an increase in practiced vulnerability
