Couples Counselling

Through a combination of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, and personal and professional experience, together we work on the problem you present from each person’s perspective, in a respectful, confidential, safe, and curious way.

I work from a compassionate space, where I don’t take sides (unless there is abuse). I explore the relational patterns between you, and see how each individual can change their part in the relationship dynamic that they find to be problematic.

“Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection”

Brene Brown

I work with Couples around the following relational themes:

Gaining a stronger emotional and physical connection with each other.
Improving communication, resolving conflict, and not repeating the same argument or pattern of behaviour.
Stop hurting each other with criticism, blame, withdrawal, anger, and defensiveness.
Repairing and reconnecting after feeling hurt, rejected, disconnected resentful and lonely.
Working through intimacy and sexual challenges to cultivate eroticism and joy in the relationship.
Repairing after a betrayal, broken trust, or emotional or physical affairs.

“Every positive thing you do in your relationship is foreplay”
