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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Over time we fall into communication patterns with our partners. Those patterns become most evident when we are stressed, as we can default to ways of relating to each other that doesn't serve us or our relationship. Learning to build new patterns of communication, more supportive and more connected communication patterns, can promote a healthier relationship, a deeper sense of connection and joy, and a more hopeful future.

In our ‘significant other’ partnerships we want what we've always wanted: friend for life, passionate fulfillment, unconditional acceptance and love, loyalty, refuge from aloneness… So why do we stop ‘dating’ her/him? Getting this close to someone often has unexpected but predictable consequences: we eventually discover significant differences that ‘disturb’ us. How we interpret these then act toward one another accordingly, is key. However, this can be complicated. Good ‘Couple/Marital Therapy’ respects our complexity. And seeks to transform it from conflict into ‘richness and abundance’, (or end it gracefully). I bring many reliable methods/ resources to support couples desiring growth.

Our relationship with our partner is one of the most important connections that we have, but sometimes things can get in the way of maintaining a healthy relationship despite our best efforts. Stressors, life changes, kids, work obligations, any of these things can derail even the strongest relationship. I work with couples using a model called Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT-C) to help strengthen and heal relationships. EFT-C is an evidenced based approach that has powerful success rates in both the short and long-term. It's time to make that investment in your relationship.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Nothing is as rewarding or satisfying as a healthy, loving, intimate relationship and nothing is as damaging and destructive as an intimate relationship gone wrong. I offer premarriage counselling and I help heterosexual couples of all ages strengthen their relationship and increase trust. I also help couples repair and renew trust when it has been broken. While communication is important, trust is the most vital component to a healthy relationship. My approach is eclectic.

A loving relationship can be a source of profound connecting and security, and as with many aspects of life worth pursuing, it requires nurturing.

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.

Just as J.F.K. said: "Ask not what you can get form your country, but what you can GIVE to your country", so is a couple's relationship. It is not what we can get from our partner, but how do we learn to love them and care for them in a way that makes us feel good, dignified and respectable. Love may not have much to do with this: do we LIKE each other? How do we co-create a safe heaven, a secure base in which we feel nurtured, liked, respected and protected, yet free to be who we really are? What kind of communication is most effective? Adela has been working with couples for over 10 years. Her creativity and passion for good, healthy satisfying relationships can be contagious,

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.

Over the course of your relationship, you are going to face its ups and downs. Learning how to meet all that life may throw at you, together as a couple and grow stronger in each experience are just some of the many benefits of couples counselling I provide. I help you develop the tools you need for when your relationship goes through a tough time. You'll learn how trust and open to your partner and feel safe, how to respond to your partner's needs during the good and the bad times, keep moving forward and blooming as the time goes by.

Any long-term relationship is bound to experience periods of challenge along with times joy. Particularly in today's world, couples are facing a number of increasing complexities as they attempt to navigate family, career, and individual challenges. I provide inclusive counselling for couples of all backgrounds. I facilitate counselling from an attachment-based perspective, focusing on the reparation of intimacy by helping couples to navigate and identify deeper, core issues that contribute to breakdowns in communication and connection. As part of my work with couples, I value fairness, openness, compassion, and equality.
