Couples & Family Therapy
Couples
Intimate relationships should be rewarding and fulfilling! Connection is at the core of humans’ basic, survival needs. Couple’s Counselling can strengthen mental and emotional wellbeing by deepening the love in your relationship. It can be truly terrifying when our needs are not being met or we do not know how to get them met. Couples Therapy can help.
Benefits of Couples Counselling
- Deepen connection and intimacy in your romantic relationship.
- Develop new skills for navigating difficult conversations.
- Learn to communicate positively and assertively during conflict.
- Gain the ability to touch your partner on an emotional level.
- Feel calm and confident in your relationship.
- Create a secure base with each other so that you can feel safe and secure taking risks outside your relationship in other areas of life.
- Identify your unique “attachment” pattern, both individually and as a couple.
- Find out what’s at the root of your relational distress and what’s getting in the way of shared dreams.
- Increase your awareness of the patterns that are destroying your relationships.
- Understand your own and your partner’s needs and triggers in the relationship.
Counselling can help relationships that are just a few months old or 60 + years in the making. Through counselling you can gain relational awareness – there is a science behind why relationships do not work and it has nothing to do with your partner being the “wrong” fit.
Relational conflict can lead to health issues, loss of sleep, separation, divorce, eating disorders, loneliness and ultimately unhealthy coping methods. Thankfully, there are other options and counselling can reduce these symptoms and treat the root cause within just a few months.
Families
Family counselling is offered for whole family systems or to adults trying to figure out how to connect with or understand their child better. Family counselling supports the strengthening of individual relationships within a family unit. It can also help build relational parenting skills that will increase connection between parents and their children. Strong family connections are a protective feature that helps prevent child or teen mischief and misbehaviours.
