Relationship Counselling
Couples Therapy can be effective in rebuilding communications patterns and rekindling the relationship you both want. Let me help you find the happiness you are looking for with effective marriage counselling in Victoria BC.
In spite of loving each other, do you experience conflict or lack of closeness in your relationship? If you are feeling stuck, caught in unhealthy communication patterns, or having the same unresolved arguments, you may be avoiding difficult conversations, perhaps you are afraid of starting another fight or where it might lead. Relationship counselling can be a way to begin exploring how you can have the relationship you want.
Communication breakdowns can create a tremendous amount of stress and conflict in your relationship. One of you may be closing down, or raising your voice and approaching exasperation that nothing is changing. If you are like many couples considering working with a counsellor, these problems may have been going on for years and will eventually erode the closeness and intimacy, if it hasn’t already. You may find the joy or spark that initially attracted you to each other is lost. Your relationship may feel empty. You may feel sad, lonely, and helpless to change it.
Whether you come on your own, with your partner, or as part of a family, I can provide relief and help you reconnect with your loved ones. Couples therapy helps you discover what is most important to you. With a supportive approach, I will help you explore feelings about yourself, your partner and your family. Marriage therapy will encourage you to move beyond what’s blocking you and take the steps required to create lasting changes.
In working with couples and families I employ several relationship counselling tools, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), to help break out of old, negative patterns for good. Regardless of the state of your relationship, EFT can help you discover how to communicate with your partner in order to get their attention, feel understood, and elicit compassion and caring. Participating in the highly successful method of EFT can help defuse the tension in your relationship as you begin to relax and respond tenderly to each other. You feel accepted. You feel embraced. The connection you have rebuilt sparks new passion and playfulness in your relationship.
