Couples Counselling
Couples sometimes find it helpful to talk with an objective counsellor in a confidential setting. Issues that I have helped couples with include:
- Communication
- Resolving Conflict
- Dissatisfaction with Sexual Intimacy
- Alcohol and/or drug addiction and its effect on the relationship
- Grieving the loss of a relationship
- Gay Relationships
- Women married to gay men
- Verbal and/or physical abuse
- Separation and child management issues following divorce
- Difficult relationships with parents or extended family
I draw on a variety of techniques to help couples learn strategies for communicating their needs, techniques that include:
- Turning towards versus turning away
- Recognizing harsh start-up
- Becoming conscious of emotional distance
