Couples Counselling
“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
- William Shakespeare
You may have heard this before, we always hurt the ones we love most. Why do we do that?
It’s usually not because of a lack of love, but from a misunderstanding of what love relationships are about.
At some point in most relationships, couples find themselves struggling which can lead to heartbreak and a disconnection from each other.
Through our couples counselling, we will help you and your partner move towards a more loving, supportive and deeply satisfying relationship. Moving towards a “conscious” relationship, we will help you to better understand each other, manage reactions, and bring the connection back into your relationship.
You will also develop tools to help you:
really listen
understand and empathize with your partner
develop a simple, respectful and effective way to talk with your partner about the things that really matter
gain an understanding of what each partner brings into the relationship based on their past experiences
move away from blame, shame and criticism
manage conflict and anger
re-romanticize your relationship and let the passion back in
How it works..
When you fill out our contact from, our Client Care Coordinator will help you book your appointment with one of our skilled couples therapists.
At this first appointment, your therapist will ask you to tell your story of your relationship:
how you met
what you first liked about each other
all the way up to today.
This gives us an understanding of your current concerns in the context of the history of your relationship.
Next, your therapist will book an individual appointment with each of you. This helps us get an understanding of who each of you are as individuals, your own family background, and anything else that might be important to you.
After the individual sessions, the rest of your appointments will be with both of you.
Couples counselling is an investment in your relationship. Healing takes time. You can expect to experience many ups and downs in the process, as you get to the bottom of the things that are causing difficulties in your relationship and as you talk about things that perhaps you’ve never discussed before as a couple.
