Great Couples Counselling in Kitscoty, AB. Therapy to heal relationships.

I focus on helping couples take responsibility for themselves within their relationship. I encourage each person to be the first to act maturely. I focus on improving communication through promoting an understanding of the patterns that underlie communication and teaching skills to promote calm interaction that enhances problem solving. Couples counselling includes couples who are dating, living together, and married.

One of the biggest problems with marriage counselling today is that counsellors use methods that haven't been proven effective by research. Many marriage therapists have worked with systems of therapy that they thought would be effective, but unfortunately they are not. This can then leave couples feeling like 'its them' when really it's just the therapy. Both Jennifer Watts & Dr. Patrick Keelan use Gottman-based marital counselling, which is based on 40 years of research and is proven to yield results.

Loving, successful relationships need to be carefully and skillfully nurtured in the following five areas: Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual, Sexual, Financial. Couples who are ready to do ongoing work on their relationships are richly rewarded with a loving, meaningful and joyful life together. Committed relationships that have the possibility of morphing into long term relationships benefit greatly by being guided by the Gottman research on relationships as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Premarital Counselling prepares a couple for a new stage in their relationship by identifying potential areas of conflict and strength and developing tools to create a strong foundation.

I enjoy and welcome working with couples. You will learn specific conflict and communication skills which begin with learning to manage your physiological reactions to your partners behaviours as well as mood management and mind work which contribute to the ability to communicate positively. You will also learn the skill of having emotionally focussed conversations which will further contribute to successful communication

Creating stronger relationships through the research- based Gottman approach. Couples who wish to develop a deeper awareness and connection in their relationships will benefit in using E- Counselling to enhance communication and bonding. Often when we are in a face to face conversation we are thinking of our next response rather than allowing the other person to be understood. Using a secure and completely confidential web based Gottman trained counsellor will help break down the barriers of communication and improve relationship dynamics. Couples can expect more understanding, respect and intimacy in their relationship. LGBT relationships are welcome.
