Couples Therapy / Counselling 

Screenshot 2025-07-01 070507 (1).png

A science-based, supportive journey to strengthen your relationship.

​

I use the Gottman Method and other evidence-based approaches to help couples move from frustration and disconnection to deeper understanding, stronger communication, and renewed connection. Together, we follow a structured, compassionate process designed to create lasting results.

Common Concerns Clients Bring to Couples Counselling

​

  • Conversations often lead to conflict rather than connection

    Couples come feeling frustrated that even simple discussions can turn into arguments or misunderstandings.

  • Negative patterns of criticism, defensiveness, or withdrawal

  • Recurring arguments that never truly resolve

  • A sense of emotional distance or loneliness within the relationship

  • Repair attempts that don’t seem to work

  • A shift toward seeing each other in a negative light

  • Struggles with trust and betrayal

  • Diminished intimacy and connection

  • A feeling of growing apart

  • Feeling unsupported in personal growth and aspirations

How We Work Together in Couples Therapy

1. Assessment Phase

Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment of your relationship. This includes joint sessions, individual meetings, and questionnaires to explore your strengths, challenges, communication patterns, and emotional needs. This phase helps us gain a clear picture of where you are and where you want to go.

2. Establishing Goals Toghether

Based on the assessment, we work collaboratively to define meaningful goals that reflect both partners’ hopes and priorities. Whether you want to improve communication, rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, or navigate a major life transition, we create a clear roadmap for your work together.

6. Re-evaluation & Maintenance

As progress unfolds, we pause to reflect on what’s working and adjust our approach as needed. We ensure your new skills are sustainable and that both partners feel confident continuing the work beyond therapy.
