Great Couples Counselling in Clarington, ON. Therapy to heal relationships.

Relationships can be so wonderful and so very hard sometimes. It is not so much if we fight but how we fight. It's how we work through the problems that can make a difference. There is infidelity, anger, mistrust, deep hurt, and challenging moments in a couple's lives that can bring us together or pull us further apart. Therapy helps you move through these pain points with love, understanding, and kindness and process the built-up anger and hurt. It is never too late to rekindle the love that brought you together in the first place.

Family Systems theory is primarily focused on three areas. These are individuals, couples, and families (including children). Couples therapy focuses exclusively on the couple's dyad. This connection is affected by many factors: Past childhood experiences of family life, current parenting and grandparenting, blended families after a divorce, intimacy, sexuality, employment stress, financial obligations, and supporting your parents even when you are an adult. This list, though not exhaustive, points to the complexity of couplehood. My training is an evidence-based model utilizing tested interventions to support couples through times of transition or recognition. Book a free consultation

Intimate relationships are like a dance – they can be quite joyful and energizing but when facing obstacles, partners need to find the steps and rhythm to move more freely.

In my couples counseling sessions, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners deepen their emotional connection and break through communication barriers. By identifying and transforming negative patterns, I guide couples to a place of understanding, compassion, and trust. My approach creates a safe space for partners to openly express their needs and build a stronger, more resilient relationship. Working with me, you’ll benefit from compassionate support and proven techniques that foster lasting, meaningful change in your partnership.

A healthy couple's relationship is often constructed by two self-reliant individuals who choose to build a shared space between them, increasingly filled with tender emotions, hopes and goals, and a dedication to the other person's growth. Central to this construct is the ability to listen. Relationships often arrive in therapy troubled by the ability to communicate and the absence of a mutual understanding of where they're going. Individuals don't mature at the same pace, just like their ability to identify and share feelings develops differently. The comfort of being listened to and understood by your therapist often helps to begin the work of reconstructing your relationship.

Couple therapy is a broad term for those who wish to address relationship concerns or would like assistance in navigating their relationship. Presenting topics may include breaches of trust, infidelity, (co)parenting, sex and intimacy, separation, exploration of relationship structure or general conflict and arguments. Often times, at nobody’s fault, couples may get caught in patterns of interaction that bring a lot of pain to the relationship. I will assist you in identifying these harmful interactions and work towards breaking that cycle with new ways of relating to each other. I am affirming of polyamorous and ethical non-monogamous relationships. Contact me to book a free consultation.

Communication skills are particularly useful for couples but often need to be learned and practiced. Past hurts need to be mended and cuts need to heal before trust and commitment can build a new foundation on which to move forward. Sometimes the early months of a relationship spark excitement and feelings of euphoria; however, these euphoric feelings give way to familiarity, and we start taking each other for granted. Relationship counseling promotes individual growth and awareness and works towards improved intimacy and deeper connection. Using the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help partners bring back the spark and give you new reasons to celebrate.

Relationship counselling will aim to build effective communication between you and your partner(s). Accomplishing this will begin by disclosing the issues within a safe and accepting environment. Subsequent discussions may include dissolving the relationship in a healthy way, or discovering the values, needs, and boundaries essential for you and your relationship to flourish.

Do you or your partner suffer from social anxiety and it's affecting your relationship? Social anxiety is a fear of negative judgment from others and it can lead to reduced levels of intimacy, suppressed emotions, feelings of isolation and loneliness and lack of communication. If one or both of you feels anxious socially, your relationship may be suffering too. Contact me for ways in which you can move past social anxiety to a fuller, intimate, richer, relaxed more authentic relationship.

It's common for couples to seek additional support. Couples might initiate therapy when they are in crisis mode or as a preventive means to maintain a healthy relationship. Common issues couples face include infidelity, betrayal, lack of emotional or physical connection, conflict resolution, communication issues, etc. I work with couples to rebuild/enhance intimate connections and heal past hurts.
