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

Patterns, they tend to define our lives, and why wouldn't they, we find life easier and calm with routines and predictability. Our most important relationships are not safe from out patterns. We fight the same fights day by day and year by year, knowing often exactly what the other is going to say, yet we can't seem to escape the routine or find a way through to consensus. Maybe it's time to disrupt the pattern of our arguments to find a way forward. It might be around finances, sex, children and parenting, or something else, but likely we keep having the same frustrating conversation about it and neither side is happy with the result.

TJ Mackenzie works primarily from an attachment theory-based position while incorporating aspects of emotions focused therapy (EFT), and internal family systems (IFS) theory. For couple’s work, TJ incorporates aspects of Gottman method couples counselling and emotion focused couples’ therapy (EFCT) into his clinical work. Using these methods can be incredibly helpful when working through relational dynamics.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

I have a background in family systems theory which informs my perspective and practice. I have level one training in Gottman therapy as well as Emotion-Focussed Couples therapy. I will come alongside couples to assist in communication and facilitate increased understanding as they work toward shared goals.

In couples therapy, I draw from both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners reconnect, understand each other, and build hope for the future. I create a space where partners can express their needs, emotions, and vulnerabilities in a way that deepens their emotional connection. Together, we work on strengthening their bond by identifying negative cycles and helping them respond to each other’s emotional needs with compassion and understanding. By combining these approaches, I help couples build trust, improve communication, and develop a more secure, loving connection that fosters lasting hope and growth.
