Great Couples Counselling in Sainte Anne, MB. Therapy to heal relationships.

It's normal for couples to face conflict in their relationship. In fact, the Gottman's (experts in the field of couple's relationships) assert conflict offers the opportunity for greater closeness in relationship! However, when we don't have the communication and conflict resolution strategies needed for successful repair and resolution, conflict tends to be experienced as quite disconnecting. I can help you grow these skills, as well as work through past issues that might be bogging you down. It is never too early to reach out for support through couple's therapy, and as long as there is openness to try, neither is it too late to gain help.

Relationships begin with so much hope and promise for the future: passion, love, intimacy, acceptance, belonging, and security. Then familiarity follows along with responsibility. The downfall starts with complacency and perhaps even resentment for the failure to live up to the promise of what could have/ should have been. Sound familiar? The above scenario is a common, and likely simplistic, description of a relationship in decline. Other factors can also disrupt plans such as a breach of trust or a traumatic experience. In counselling, we will help to re-connect you with your values and beliefs while improving communication and re-defining what it means to be in a relationship.

I'm excited about helping couples build their relationship upon a solid foundation. We enter into marriage with our unique personalities and histories. We come with our own needs and expectations - often unrecognized. Problems develop in every relationship - that's normal. I will help you ... - restore the romance and renew your love for one another - learn new ways to communicate effectively - learn to consider one another's feelings & perspectives - creatively solve problems together - name and realize your dreams for your life together - resolve conflicts in constructive ways - build on the spiritual dimension of your relationship

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?
