Personal, Relationship & Family Counselling

Whether you are facing personal, relationship or family challenges, or wanting to make a positive change in your life, counselling with a licensed professional can help.

Are you and your partner stuck in patterns of relating that keep you going in circles? Do you and your partner seem to be going in different directions with competing priorities? Have you ever communicated about what is really beneath your entrenched positions and what makes it hard to let go of some things? Learn to recognize patterns in your relationship and how both of you can move forward together rather than in circles. Discover how to satisfy some of your deepest longings for acceptance and companionship with your current partner. Rediscover what you first saw in your partner and learn to be each other's best friend. Therapy is hard work, so be prepared to exert energy both in session and between sessions.

Approximately 50% of first relationships end in Canada including marriages and common-law relationships, and 70 to 80% of second relationships fail. Maybe you are newly single and are not sure how it happened. What can you discover about your past relationship(s) that will help you with your current or future one? How can you be a good relationship role model for your children from here on? Your children hear what you say, but they learn from what you do. Your relationship patterns will seem normal to them, and unless they somehow process what they experienced in their family of origin, they are very likely to repeat the patterns of relating that they grew up watching. Learning from the past helps you and your children in the present and future.

I would be happy to talk with you, at no obligation, about how counselling can help.
