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

Couple counselling is available for heterosexual and homosexual couples who may or may not be married. Many people are choosing to live together and are finding themselves having relationship issues. Couple counselling will assist you in sorting through issues and making sense of the issues. Areas that often come up in counselling are communication, intimacy, trust, extended family, finances, problem solving, and parenting styles (if children are involved).

A satisfying relationship is one of life's greatest pleasures. The good news is we have the research available to know the predictors of relationship success and demise. Let me work with you to gain insight into the strengths in your relationship and provide you with the skills to overcome the challenges to create the relationship experience you each desire.

If you are coming to couples therapy, you and your partner have developed unhealthy patterns of relating. I will help you overcome your toxic communication patterns. If there has been an affair, I will help you recognize and acknowledge the deep emotional trauma it has caused. I will help you move from self-focus to partner-focus, and finally I will help move you from blame to understanding and empathy.

Couple counseling in both hetero and homo sexual realtionships has the same starting point of communication, trust, and respect. As a professional using Interpersonal Communication techniques I would help the couple come to understand not only each other as a couple but also themselves as an individual in the couple's relationship. By role modeling an unbias position I will help lend a new perspective to the couple's relationship issues that may not have been seen through the day-to-day routine of their busy lives.

Friend, lover, husband, wife, partner, intimate co-creator / intimate enemy: the options of what way couple therapy can help are many. I have over 40 years experience with couples of every variety (straight, lesbian, gay, swingers and so on) and have always found the balance both within each person as well as between the partners as key. Couples - even when in Big Time Conflict - can learn what other choices they have: as individuals and as a working team. The balancing of power between self and one’s partner is the key learning that is often needed. Inevitably both people have areas of esteem - but also areas of vulnerability. It takes risking, but change and healing are possible.

Couples therapy is not just for times of trouble, it is also important for building a strong foundation to an already strong relationship. Our couples therapists focus on learning about your unique relationship and what each of you bring to the table. We tailor this process to what your relationships needs, which could be healing from a trauma, infidelity, loss, and/or life stress. We are here to help and to support your relationship.

Couples counselling can be a little daunting to some, with the prospects of bringing out the skeletons in the closet can be scary and unforgiving. However, it doesn't have to be. My approach involves couples bettering their understanding of one another as individuals, strengthening their bond as a unit, and rekindling the spark that brought them together at the start. Through couples counselling, my goal is to help you improve communication, manage stressful times, and find appreciation for one another, regardless of the hurdles in your past.

Relationships can bring joy and connection, but they also face challenges like miscommunication, unmet needs, or trust issues. Over time, stress and unresolved conflicts can create distance. Couples therapy provides a space to reconnect, improve communication, and address recurring patterns. Together, we’ll explore each partner’s perspective, build empathy, and develop tools for resolving conflicts constructively. Therapy isn’t about assigning blame but fostering a deeper understanding of each other. Whether you’re rebuilding after a breach of trust or simply seeking to strengthen your bond, couples therapy can help you grow together and create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

There are many challenges to be navigated in the lifespan of a partnership. It can be difficult at times to sort through the conflicts, hurt, and upset on your own, despite your best efforts. The bond between two people navigating life together is one of the most important attachment relationships you will experience in life and is worthy of the support and guidance that can be provided by a compassionate and unbiased professional. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based approach to helping couples repair and grow their relationship. Unproductive patterns of interaction are identified, and new skills introduced with the goal of increasing safety, security and connection.

A committed relationship has its ups and downs. People change and life challenges can cause stress. I help couples explore their individual needs and what they want in a relationship. Sometimes a quiet hour to reconnect with your partner is all it takes to rekindle the love that brought you together. By exploring how a couple manages communication,conflict and division of tasks can also eliminate stress that interferes with intimacy. However, I also offer a safe place to process the end of relationships.

A loving relationship can be a source of profound connecting and security, and as with many aspects of life worth pursuing, it requires nurturing. While I do not offer couple therapy sessions, we have many couple and family therapists at Psychotherapy Collective, my online clinic who are availability to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure they are the proper fit for your journey.

I believe that a healthy couple's relationship is one of the most challenging types of relationships to develop and sustain. This is because a couple’s relationship requires that the couple juggle and balance well at least three types of relationship with each other. When all 3 types of relationships are functioning well between a couple, each individual will feel loved, valued, and respected; and the couple will be able to resolve conflict well and set and achieve common goals collaboratively. Through counseling, I can help you improve how you relate to each other as friends, partners and lovers. Instead of being and operating as individuals, you can be and operate as a true couple.

At Talking Works, we use the proven framework of emotion focused therapy (EFT) to create lasting change by emphasising emotional awareness and processing to help you better understand, regulate, and share your emotions. EFT focuses on creating a secure and loving attachment between you and your partner to help you communicate your needs and desires in a way that fosters deeper intimacy and connection.

My background in relational therapy allows me to understand individuals through the relationships they cohabit. Couple therapy may be a vehicle for growth to occur both relationally and individually. This in turn may assist in bringing you closer to your desired goals through understanding and breaking down language used in romantic relationships. Throughout couple sessions, I lean towards emotionally focused therapy, as I have witnessed its transformative effects particularly in romantic relationships. Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to determine if we would be a good fit.

In my work with couples, I encourage each individual to understand their role in conflict so that they can take ownership and make new decisions that prioritize the relationship. Through these conversations, each person can begin to develop compassion for their partner, so new ways of being can help the relationship grow while strengthening the connection.

You might not be married but you are a couple. :) I believe relationships require empathy, openness and effort. I embrace diversity of all kinds and encourage a couple to seek therapy at any stage if they wish to increase their understanding of each other's needs. Even one visit to a therapist's office can help you see that change is possible and achievable with even a small amount of effort.

It is known by many that relationships are not always easy to manage as they require dedication and commitment from each partner. I assist couples during counselling to learn skills to communicate more effectively, resolve their issues in a safe environment, strengthen their emotional connection, and learn strategies to preserve healthier relationships.

The relationship you have with your significant other can bring you love, joy, and a sense of fulfillment. But when things aren't going well, your relationship can often be exhausting and painful. Couples therapy provides a safe and fair space for both of you to be heard, and can help you discover and process the root of the issue. Couples therapy is hard work, but when both partners are willing to fight for the relationship, great things can happen.

Couples can often become fixated on repairing their partners’ behavior and waiting for the other to change before feeling content in the relationship. However, in my work with couples, I have found it fruitful to explore how each person in the relationship is contributing to a dynamic that they would like to change. I also believe that therapy should be a space where each person can express their views and feel validated and accepted by their partner(s).
