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

I often see couples when one side is experiencing an addiction. This can cause relatively predictable effects in the other half of the partnership. The person addicted needs their own recovery and the partner needs their own healing. The couple also needs to heal by restoring trust and dealing with underlying issues. At OWA Therapy, I focus on overcoming those underlying issues.

We all long for connection. Many of us feel great in the times when a relationship is new and the connection is just developing. The problems come when we have to repair distance/rifts in that connection, or when we need to sustain and deepen our connection to our partners. Maybe we never learned how. Maybe we carry scars and trauma from past relationships. Maybe we have patterns in our histories that we never really dealt with. Maybe all of the above. Our work together will take all of that into account and in a non-judgmental environment, we will hold space for you both to learn how to repair, strengthen and maintain your most important relationships.

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.

They say home is where the heart is, and in your relationship, it's no different. I specialize in couple therapy, where I honor both perspectives and needs within your partnership. Together, we pave a path to reconnection through mutual understanding and a common purpose, putting the heart back in your relationship. Reach out for a free consultation, and let's work towards rekindling the spark and strengthening your bond.

Healthy relationships take commitment & work. I help couples increase emotional intimacy & connection. I help them stop unhelpful ways of interacting, achieve resolution to their unresolved conflicts, & take responsibility for their negative contributions to patterns. Couple relationships require re-committing ourselves to each other repeatedly throughout the length of our relationship. I will help you to learn to "turn towards" one another. I will also help you to eliminate the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a phrase coined by couple researches John and Julie Gottman. Lastly, all couple relationships include pursuer-distancer patterns. I will help you identify these and work to stop them.

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.

If you are in a relationship that is marked by conflict, chronic arguing, anger, frustration or feeling stuck in some way, counselling can give you some tools to help you move forward. If you are feeling emotionally disconnected or distant from your parter there are ways to reconnect with your loved one that can be quickly learned. If you have been impacted by addiction, particularly compulsive sexual behaviours, I can help you understand how to move forward in to new healthy patterns.
