Couples Counselling

Specializing in the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy

Relationships take time and are built on friendship, trust, love and dreams. But things do change. Kids, infidelity, sexual difficulties, illness, different life goals, and that can be very difficult to adapt. All you long for is that sense of connection but the more you push, there is more pull. 

In session, I use the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to inform and guide your relationship journey.

The complexities that love challenges us by can be tense, but what if I showed you how to harness this as a purpose, not a fault. Would you take the opportunity? Let me guide you.

What is the Gottman Method?

The Gottman Method is a research based couples therapy style that seeks to reestablish clear verbal communication between couples to disarm old hurtful strategies. Using an assessment based on the Sound Relationship Theory, the Gottman mission is to increase intimacy, clear communication, trust and safety, and create more empathy in the relationship.

Through the Gottman Method I give you tools and exercises to use that guide harmful communication into vulnerable and compassionate communication. The Gottman tools are crucial to use as a blueprint for your relationship patterns and therefore function.
