Couples Counselling

​Relationships can be one of life’s greatest sources of connection—but they can also be one of the greatest sources of stress. If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or in conflict, you're not alone. My couples counselling practice offers a safe, supportive space to explore your relationship and work towards meaningful change—together.

 

My Approach

I use an integrated, evidence-based approach tailored to each couple’s unique needs. Drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, including:

  • Gottman Method Couples Counselling

  • Emotion Focused Couples Counselling (EFCT)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy

  • Family Systems Therapy

These models help address not just conflict resolution, but also emotional intimacy, communication, attachment styles, and deeper relational patterns.

 

The Assessment Phase

A thorough assessment is essential to understanding the strengths, challenges, and dynamics within your relationship. Here’s what you can expect in the initial sessions:

  • Session 1: A 90-minute joint assessment session with both partners present.

  • Session 2 & 3: Two separate 90-minute individual sessions, one with each partner.

  • Session 4: A 60-minute feedback session, where I provide insights based on the assessment and introduce your personalized therapy plan.

Couples are also invited to complete a Gottman Relationship Assessment (cost: $75) to enhance the depth of the assessment process.

 

Starting the Work

Therapeutic work and interventions begin from Session 5 onward, tailored to your relationship’s goals, patterns, and strengths. Whether you’re working on rebuilding trust, improving communication, or deepening emotional connection, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

 

Comfort Matters

Couples counselling can be challenging—so I make sure your sessions are as comfortable as possible. I always have snacks, sparkling waters, coffee, and teas on hand to help you feel at ease while doing the important work of healing and growing together.
