Couples Counselling
COUPLES THERAPY
Our intimate relationship with our life partner is a significant component of our well-being. It has the power to heal us from past hurts or to re-ignite them. Usually, relationship difficulties can be resolved together, but sometimes they can’t. A serious breach of trust, for example, can devastate a relationship, but so too can a creeping malaise that can quietly carry you to a point of no return.
Unfortunately, couples don’t always realize how they trigger each other. When a couple engages in the process of couple psychotherapy they rediscover how to cherish and value each other, they learn how to empathize, and communicate effectively. They learn to tolerate conflict and resolve it constructively. Whatever the challenge, it is always best to address it promptly.
Couple psychotherapy aims to help you reconnect and reclaim love.
Relational Life Therapy
When working with couples, Manon uses the Relational Life Therapy model created by Terry Real.
Relational life therapy is a highly effective approach that emphasizes the importance of respect and cherishing to maintain a sense of connection.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?
If you’re feeling nervous because you don’t know what to expect, you’re like most people attending psychotherapy/counselling for the first time. Research suggests that a positive therapeutic relationship a client has with their psychotherapist contributes to the client’s satisfaction and progress. Therefore, it is important to ensure you feel comfortable in the presence of your psychotherapist. You should feel that your psychotherapist cares, actively listens, and demonstrates an understanding of your situation.
