Couples Therapy
Understanding what happens between you.
Couples counselling and relationship therapy in Centretown, Ottawa, in person or online across Ontario.
Coordinating two schedules can be challenging. Ask about weeknight and weekend appointments and let us know when you can both attend. Availability depends on your therapist.
Thoughtful attention to the relationship and to each person’s experience.
You may find yourselves returning to the same argument, or saying less because conversations have become difficult. There may be a sense of distance, a loss of trust, or uncertainty about the relationship. Couples therapy offers time to understand these experiences together, including what each of you has found difficult to say or hear.
Listening more closely to the relationship.
Understanding recurring conflict.
We explore how difficult conversations unfold, what each person experiences, and how their responses affect one another.
Attending to what is unspoken.
Needs, fears, and expectations can be difficult to express, especially when a relationship feels strained. Therapy offers space to explore what may be left unsaid and better understand how each person experiences the relationship.
Getting to know you and your relationship.
The first few sessions are an opportunity for us to get to know you both. We'll talk about what brings you here, what life together has been like, and what each of you would like to be different. There's no need to have everything figured out before you begin.
