Relationship Counselling
If you have been struggling in your relationships, we are here to help.
- Maybe arguments are becoming more and more intense, there is less connection and intimacy and you don't know what to do
- Maybe you are struggling with facing the loss of a relationship or in navigating the complicated process of uncoupling in your relationship
- Maybe you are planning a wedding and want to ensure you also plan for the marriage
"successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts"
Dr. John Gottman
Relationship Counselling Approach
|
We primarily use the Gottman Method for relationship counselling. Dr. John Gottman’s work is based on 40 years of research on real relationships!
Partners often see conflict as bad or unhealthy and they try to avoid it altogether. However, avoidance often creates more relationship issues (i.e., resentment, disconnection etc.).
|
One of the main assumptions that informs our work is that conflict is inevitable in all relationships.
Instead, partners need to learn how to establish meaningful dialogue about conflictual issues in order to gain a deeper understanding about their partner(s)--and yes, sometimes that means not actually coming to a "solution" on some issues.
