Couples Therapy

Families come in all shapes and sizes, and how we show up in our relationships is impacted by our upbringing. Whether you came from a home with two parents who have been married for years, a single parent household, blended family, a stable household, abusive upbringing, or anything in between, what we learn - or don't learn plays a role in how we go about our adult relationships.

Couples therapy isn't just about helping you and your partner 'fix your problems' or 'resolve your arguments'. Couples therapy involves each person coming to understand themself, and coming together to understand each other. Arguments are meaningless if no one has a clue what the other person is really on about. Effective couples therapy helps partners get to the bottom of why the other person feels the way they feel - and helps individuals understand how their behaviour is perceived by the other person. Lets put it really simply: if you are an Iphone and your partner is an Android, and you try to 'airdrop' information to your 'Android' partner - there is a good chance they are never going to receive the message.

Once couples stop trying to communicate in ways that will never land, and learn how to communicate for understanding the real work towards repairing damage, strengthening bonds, and reigniting harmony in your household can begin.
