Great Couples Counselling in Warman, SK. Therapy to heal relationships.

A couple can truly love each other, but also find themselves continually hurt by the other person's behaviour, silence, or choices. Communication, vulnerability, seeking to feel respected and cherished, are all vital for a relationship to thrive. Specifically, some elements of communication and roles being placed on each other may need to be recognized and re-evaluated.

Bev loves working with couples at any stage of relating. She is experienced with pre-marital counselling, has worked with blended families and has seen techniques bring about peaceful, growing relationships rather than conflictive, alienating feuds. She has worked with couples who are trying to recover after an affair. She has worked with couples stuggling with mid-life issues. Bev guides couples in hearing each other using Active Listening and coaches her clients through the delicate process. Bev equips clients with a problem-solving format if that is what they need. Bev also works with couples whose marriages seem to be over. She helps those who are stuggling with separation/divorce.

In couples therapy we would use art therapy in some of the sessions as a way of creating a mutual safe place between partners. I would also explore language and establish identifiable issues that we could set concrete goals around. I am a big follower of the Gottman Insitute, which emphasizes the importance of establishing the 'dream within the position' of each partner. I believe that this allows us to explore hurts that each partner is bringing into the relationship, and the dreams that they similarly have for the relationship. In couples therapy we would set small concrete goals each session, and always do 'check-ins' as a way of maintaining and learning emotional safety.

With the fast pace of life today, couples can find it hard to maintain a healthy and enjoyable relationship. With the pressure of work, children, or finances, you may feel the two of you have drifted apart. Couples struggle with miscommunication, desire to be heard, continuing arguments, lack of intimacy, and resentment. I create a safe space where you can both be seen and heard; a space where you can express your feelings and requests. I will help you reconnect and help you regain the relationship you had or improve your current relationship.

When you look back on 2018, will it be hand-in-hand with your loving partner in the relationship of your dreams--or will it be from the other side of the bed, after another fight about the same old thing? If your relationship is rocky--not for lack of trying--but for lack of being able to get through to one another, couples counseling can be (and in my experience, most definitely is) a critical turning point.

Every couple is unique and it is important for them to realize that they often bring different personality styles to the relationship. Couples' learn how they are different, how to see these differences as a strength, and how these differences are communicated. Couple's learn how to assess their emotional intimacy, choose where they wish to start and are in charge of the change process.

Romantic or loving relationships can be a great source of strength, validation, support and friendship. It has been my observation that everything that makes a relationship work and flourish is a learned behaviour. We need to learn from our partners; how to love and be loved, how to succor and be succored, to support and be supported, what makes them (our partners) happy, sad, calm, angry and so on. Ego can get in the way as can low self esteem and self worth, jealousy, controlling behaviours; these things can be a source of pain and hurt within the relationship. Gentleness, kindness, respect dignity and honesty are the start of any good relationship.

I work with couples using Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and communication/conflict management techniques to identify the sources of their relationship distress, elicit unmet needs, and unhealthy/pathological relational patterns and to work at transforming these habits, patterns, into healthy ones. I also value the opportunity to support couples to be more emotionally attuned and responsive towards each other for the health and growth of their relationship and each individual in it.

I support couples who are looking to improve their relationship. Specifically, I also support couples who are looking to explore how past trauma may be impacting their current relationship. For couples therapy, I draw from a few different modalities, including Attachment Theory, the Gottman Method, and trauma-informed therapy. Together, we can learn more about how to improve communication, trust, intimacy, friendship, and connection.

The practices of narrative therapy often challenge simple explanations of objective truth. Our lives are seen as multi-storied, rich with details and diverse experiences. In narrative therapy, we seek the neglected aspects of our stories that have been given less power and visibility. In my work with couples, externalization allows for the excavation of affirmative stories that are hidden beneath problems such as blame, conflict, and disconnection.

Are you stuck in less-than-useful communication patterns? Using the Gottman method, I help couples renew their emotional connection, rebuild their friendship, manage conflict, and learn communication skills. My aim is to help couples discover hope again by building on what already works for them and incorporating new skills. In addition, I provide a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental space for couples to strengthen their relationship.

Are you and your partner stuck in unsolvable arguments? Does one of you tend to ‘demand’ more while the other shuts down and withdraws? Are you feeling less connected and actually adding stress to each other’s lives instead of reducing it? While frustrating, these are perfectly normal patterns of partnership and there is hope. I would be glad to help you untangle the knots, learning to team up together instead of entering battles over who is right. In doing so, we will unpack past traumas and patterns of behaviour, learning to better communicate and to be safely vulnerable in a way that stands your relationship on solid ground.

Restore trust, build hope and regain affection, joy, communication, intimacy, companionship, and passion in your relationship. Relationships can face stress due to financial strain, physical, emotional, or mental illness, infidelity, life transitions, job loss, blending families, or changing values. Feelings of distance and betrayal, anger and hurt, and ongoing conflict can creep in and replace intimacy and trust. Couples counselling can help you to communicate better, resolve conflict, rebuild trust and intimacy, forgive each other, and have hope. I use both emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and Gottman approaches to help you make healthy changes in your relationship.

In the intricate dance of relationships, it's not just about solving immediate issues but cultivating a deeper connection and understanding between partners. I provide a supportive and empathetic environment where couples can rediscover the appreciation and intimacy that may have faded over time. The process involves transforming the relationship dynamics, fostering a profound sense of togetherness and shared happiness. Whether you're navigating through challenges or simply seeking to enhance your bond, I offer guidance and tools that can lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying love story.
