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

In couples counselling, I emphasize the unique dynamics and challenges that arise within romantic partnerships, whether married or not. My approach is centered on facilitating open dialogue, deepening understanding, and fostering mutual respect and empathy between partners. By focusing on the specific dynamics of the couple's relationship, rather than broader family dynamics or legal aspects of marriage, clients can benefit from gaining insight into their individual needs, communication patterns, and relational strengths. Through collaborative exploration and targeted interventions, couples can work towards enhancing intimacy, resolving conflicts, and building a stronger foundation for their relationship, regardless of their marital status.

Relationship’s dynamics can be challenging to navigate even during the best of times, and couple therapy can help partners find new ways to relate, connect, and communicate with each other. Asking for what you want and need in a relationship can be scary, so therapy should be a safe space where you and your partner feel comfortable exploring your needs and expectations together. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore patterns of interaction that they want to strengthen or change in their relationships, as well as holding space for vulnerability and connection.

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.

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.

A loving relationship can be a source of profound connecting and security, and as with many aspects of life worth pursuing, it requires nurturing. While I do not offer couple therapy sessions, we have many couple and family therapists at Psychotherapy Collective, my online clinic who are availability to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure they are the proper fit for your journey.

One of the methods that is used at Arukah Counselling for couples counselling is the Gottman Method. With this method, clients will be encouraged to develop a firm foundation using love maps, create trust and commitment and learn to navigate conflict in an effective, respectful manner as well as repair breaches and eliminate destructive habits in their relationship.

Effective couples counselling should always centre on the emotional bond and hidden, problematic communication between two people. By establishing the relationship as my client and using structured Emotionally Focussed Therapy techniques I am able to provide a non-blaming, safe space in which couples can learn to become emotionally available to one another and develop deeper, healthier and more secure attachments bringing about positive, lasting intimacy.
