Couples Counselling

Self-awareness and good communication build happier relationships

I meet with couples at many turning points. Whether you’re entering into a new relationship, seeking to revitalize a long-term partnership, or needing help to navigate a break-up, couples counselling can help you to engage one another with greater clarity and intention.

When working with couples, I aim to provide a neutral, supportive space where you can take risks and explore new ways of talking to each other. Relationships are always evolving, and sometimes it helps to have a third party present to make sense of where things are at and where they are heading.

In couples counselling, we work to:

• Practice active listening and approaches that lower defences
• Recognize the impacts of trauma and explore pathways for healing
• Have frank discussions about sex and sexuality
• Uncover barriers to intimacy
• Set practical and respectful boundaries
• Work through a specific issue, such as infidelity, jealousy, or a co-parenting conflict
• Navigate major transitions, such as separation, a new sexual arrangement, or a gender transition
