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.

Ray has completed her level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and uses Gottman Method Couples Therapy along with Emotion Focused Therapy in her therapy work. The Gottman method uses 9 principles that include trust and commitment. EFT is a specific technique that explores the feeling underneath the conflicts that appear at the surface. Ray finds that couples who come for counselling are invested in saving their relationships and are invested in the therapeutic work that we do together. Ray also is a Certified Educator of Dr. John Gottman's 7 Principles that Make Marriage (and any partner relationship) Work. There are workshops currently being planned in the Orangeville area.

I offer couples therapy using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a highly effective approach designed to help partners strengthen their emotional bond and improve communication. By focusing on the emotional patterns and attachment needs within the relationship, I guide couples through identifying and addressing underlying issues, fostering a deeper understanding and connection. My goal is to help couples rebuild trust, enhance intimacy, and create a more secure and fulfilling partnership.

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

Through the highly successful process of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples developed by Sue Johnson, with whom I have trained, I enjoy working with couples who are striving to create and maintain a safe loving and dynamic relationship by deepening their experiences of love and trust. There are many factors that can get us off track from having the relationship we desire and deserve. Learning simple ways of communicating, sharing experience and engaging our compassion can enhance our abilities for loving intimacy. The EFT process is very accessible with a high success rate.
