Relationship Counselling

     

HOW DOES IT WORK?
*We begin with a free initial 30 minute consultation. During this introductory session we will review our therapeutic process, answer any questions you may have, and ask you to complete a consultation questionnaire.

*The first session is an intake interview, where we get to know you better and begin the process of collecting information that we will draw on in subsequent sessions.

*Couples typically attend once a week for 8 sessions. Our time together is immersive, and time between sessions may involve recommended reading or other work that builds on or enhances our session time.

*Follow-up session are available to support couples as needed.

WHAT OUTCOME CAN I EXPECT?
*Couples understand the emotional underpinnings that lead to their relationship challenges, and they have developed strategies to overcome them.

*Couples re-establish emotional connection by knowing their attachment needs and responding to those of their partner.

*Couples are able to utilize positive strategies to communicate clearly and authentically.

*Couples are familiar with the concept of rupture and repair, and are able to use this knowledge to regroup and reconnect more quickly and with less hurt when ruptures occur.

*Couples view positive relationships as a protective factor that can influence our immune system, hormonal system, and our ability to heal.

*The subjective experience of our relationships is a significant factor in how mentally and emotionally healthy we are as individuals.
