Relationship Counselling

Do you love each other… but these days you’re always bickering?

Has your lovemaking become a routine like flossing your teeth… but less frequent?

I often hear couples tell me that they don’t know how it happened, but somewhere along the line their romantic relationship morphed into “a functional agreement.”

Feeling lonely, misunderstood or unloved is painful. Being weighed down by anxiety, depression, sadness or low self-esteem can be overwhelming.

Has your magic spark disappeared in the face of childrearing, job stress and financial pressures? Have you become roommates with a specific set of responsibilities, rather than lovers?

When you commit to a partner, no one really teaches you how to navigate the tough times and stay close. Research shows that even the best-matched couples have 5 - 7 areas with marked core differences.

Relationship counselling or couples therapy can help you return to a place where you both feel truly honoured, cherished and loved by the other.

Love counselling can help you recreate that oasis of intimacy and trust, where you feel seen and heard by your partner. A place of knowing that you’re a priority and that your heart is safe with this special person.

During the couples therapy sessions you will discover how to leverage the strengths that exist in your relationship already.

Combined with my counselling advice you will discover how to

• Resolve conflict successfully – especially around tricky issues such as sex, money and children
• Shift arguments into effective communication so that you feel heard and seen
• Develop and create a shared system of values and meanings so you can support each other in reaching your personal goals and achieving your dreams
• Resolve and avoid the feelings of stress and anxiety that can accompany your relationship because you get triggered into old injuries
• Deepen your ability to give and receive affection generously
• Feel loved and genuinely understood in bed and beyond
• Continue to feel “hot” and “turned on” and present during love-making for the years to come
• Discover how to be proactive in making your relationship better and maintain a high level of positive energy in your connection

I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation. Why don’t you give me a call at 778 558 8207 or email me at info@positivelifechanges.ca and set up an appointment.
