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.

Healing and growing in our sexuality & eroticism can help us understand ourselves and our partners in ways we may have never been privileged to before. It opens us to the appreciation of the full depth and breadth of human erotic expression. I work with individuals and couples. My approach is informed by training as an Erotic Blueprint Coach, somatic attachment and conscious kink. All forms of love, relationship structures, and sexual expression (from the most sensual "vanilla" to the raunchiest kink) welcome.

Couples counselling is an excellent way to learn and understand each other's needs, desires, thoughts and feelings of each other while validating and empathizing with each other. In my office, couples are also encouraged to find ways to develop an underlying friendship, expression of positive feelings, resolution of old hurts, and strengthening trust.

Couples counselling is for anyone who is a committed relationship, you do not need to be married. I am a Certified Gottman Therapist - a scientific and researched approach to helping couples improve their relationship developed by Dr. John and Julie Gottman. Based on the framework of a Sound Relationship House, specific interventions are used to increase respect, fondness, connection and create a better understanding.

After each completes a pre-counseling questionnaire, a conversation takes place where both can express what they would like to get out of counseling and how each takes responsibility for problems in the relationship. After the 1st session, it is important to meet each person individually to understand their perspective and assess what role family of origin and prior relationships may play in their current relationship. Work would happen on areas like communication, managing conflict, and dealing with unresolved issues, unmet needs, and relationship dynamics that have caused problems. Learning new skills and perspectives gives hope to rebuilding the relationship into something both desire.

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.
