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

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. While my approach is eclectic.

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.

Healthy relationships are extremely important to our happiness, health and well-being. In couples therapy, it is my ultimate goal to help both of you to come to a full and deep understanding of one another. Often times, couples get into disputes because of a lack of understanding of one another which can be due to time constraints, family difficulties, lack of knowledge of one another's beliefs, etc. In therapy, we will explore each person's background, beliefs and perspectives, and we will negotiate both so that they can work together in harmony. We will also look at the particular issue(s) that you have sought therapy and will work on remedying it by reestablishing an emotional connection.

I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. Couples therapy supports you in reaching a fresh connection with your partner. You have the ability to have a meaningful relationship. I can help you learn the skills to communicate in a way that will get your needs met. I’m trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, developmental models,and anxiety and depression management. I will support you in creating a set of tools to help you discover your objective. Most importantly, you're a distinctive couple, with distinctive needs. My goal is to work with you as a unique couple, and focus on YOUR goals.

When it comes to couples, the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore, in couple therapy, the focus is not on the two sides of the equation. Rather, the object of inquiry and therapy is the relationship between those two sides. The therapy examines the interpersonal relationship and treats it as a third space. Therefore, the goal is not to change the individuals but to change the way they communicate, understand, and accept each other. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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.

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.

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

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,

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.
