Couples Counselling
Work with a couples therapist to gain insight and understanding as you cultivate a stronger relationship with your partner.
Are you feeling fear, uncertainty, anxiety or insecurity in your relationship? Do you find yourself longing for intimacy and trust, instead of feeling alone or betrayed?
Often couples find their way to us to reconnect and heal past wounds. The state of disconnection you experience in your relationship may not be what you set out to achieve; however, you just don't know how to break free from this pattern you have found yourselves caught in.
Couples therapy will help you to create a bond that is active, affectionate and reciprocal, where each partner mutually derives and provides closeness and security. Through couples counselling, we help provide the tools to reestablish lasting connections and emotional intimacy.
At Counselling & Co., our goal is to ensure both people in the relationship feel heard, respected and encouraged to share their story. We will work together to identify and interrupt your negative and exhausting patterns of interaction and to forgive injuries, eventually, building new positive and fulfilling ways of connecting with one-another.
It is a blessing to see couples feeling proud of their journey and the work they achieve together. If you recognize any of these issues or concerns in your relationship and want to explore them further, then please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to help you make your relationship a source of security, comfort, passion and fulfillment.
What Couples May Be Experiencing
Negative emotional responses and dismissive cycles of communication undoubtedly have a profound and painful effect on our mental, emotional and physical well-being. Clients that come to Counselling & Co. for couples counselling have typically experienced the following:
Wanting to prepare to move in together or get married
