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

In couples counseling, I create empathetic environment for both partners. I encourage open communication, helping each individual express their feelings and perspectives without judgment. By exploring the dynamics of their relationship, we identify patterns that contribute to misunderstandings or conflict. My background as an Asian-Canadian woman allows me to approach cultural differences sensitively, recognizing how these influences shape each partner's values and beliefs. Using a blend of therapeutic approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman approach, and Narrative Therapy, I facilitate collaboration and growth, guiding

In 2015, I began studying the PACT (Psychobiological) Model for Couples Therapy. Using this model, I am passionate about working with couples. Based on "secure-functioning", you discover exactly, what you wanted but didn't know how to get there. Increasing your awareness on many levels gives you many more options. Discover how you and your partner can feel the way you long to feel and experience a warm safe loving relationship. Rediscover the promise held within the love and attraction that brought you together.

I will advocate for your marriage...I will be your cheerleader and your coach combined, showing you how to get out of this destructive cycle and move forward to something much more satisfying. I will help you rebuild when hurts have been deep. Don't delay on this...sooner is better!

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?

Romantic relationships can be hard work. They require regular care to keep them functioning well. Many couples expect romance to go on forever without doing the necessary work only to face the realities of relationships. Relationship issues become more magnified when one or both parties carry a history of trauma. Couples counselling can help individuals learn about one another, communicate effectively and grow as individuals while becoming loving partners. The therapist is an unbiased party who is there to help both partners function together well as a unit by providing solution-based interventions.

You can have an even better relationship! I work with you to identify what your issues are. We learn what your communication issues are, what is working and what is not in your relationship and implement practical action plans to improve this. Further, we identify your negative patterns of relating to each other and how this is a habit that hurts the relationship, and we learn how to get out of that pattern, shift behaviors, and relate in the most respectful, loving, kind manner which ultimately often improves your sex life, your happiness, and your fulfillment.

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.
