Couples Counselling

Relationships are complex and create many difficult issues for couples to navigate. Most of these issues are imbedded in our past traumas and painful relationships where we have built up strong defensive resistance to certain behaviours and feelings that we may experience in our relationship.

Its nearly impossible for couples to navigate this terrain alone especially when their feelings get hijacked by these unresolved emotions and we loose the capacity to communicate fairly and reasonably. 

My focus in assisting couples to work through these complex feelings is to develop greater awareness around the source of these defensive behaviours and develop a more healthy means to communicate and to increase intimacy.

Couples counselling is an unfolding process of deepening ones relationship with one self and hopefully into the intimate relationship with others. It does take courage to feel into these wounded parts of our self but the ultimate reward is more self awareness and respect for each other.
