Couples Counselling
Deepen connection. Break unhelpful patterns. Heal together.
Relationships are rarely simple. Even the most loving partnerships can get stuck in repetitive patterns, misunderstandings, or emotional distance. Couples counselling provides a safe, guided space to slow down, listen, and reconnect — both to each other and to your own needs within the relationship.
This work is not about assigning blame or “fixing” your partner. It is about understanding the dynamics between you, fostering emotional safety, and creating opportunities for connection and growth.

What Couples Therapy Can Support
I work with couples in Nanaimo, BC and online who are navigating:
-
Communication difficulties or recurring conflicts
-
Emotional disconnection or withdrawal
-
Attachment and trust challenges
-
Life transitions, such as moving in together, parenting, career changes, or separation decisions
-
Intimacy, sexual, or relational concerns
-
Healing from past trauma that affects the relationship
-
General patterns that leave one or both partners feeling stuck, unheard, or disconnected
Whether you are struggling or simply want to strengthen your partnership, therapy can provide tools, insight, and a deeper relational awareness.
​
My Approach to Couples Counselling
My approach is integrative, experiential, and grounded in attachment-based frameworks, including emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and the developmental model. I also draw on parts work, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and sex therapy where relevant.
​
Couples therapy focuses on:
​
-
Understanding patterns: Identifying repeating cycles and triggers that drive conflict or withdrawal
-
Emotional attunement: Helping each partner feel heard, understood, and safe
-
Repair and resilience: Cultivating practical skills and embodied strategies to navigate conflict and foster closeness
-
Integration: Bringing insights into daily life so changes are sustainable
The goal is not perfection. It is creating a relationship where both partners feel recognized, supported, and able to move together toward deeper connection.
​
What You Can Expect
-
A safe and neutral space for both partners to be heard
-
Guidance in understanding and shifting patterns of interaction
-
Attention to emotional, physical, and relational cues
-
Support in building intimacy, trust, and connection
-
Strategies for maintaining growth outside of therapy
Couples counselling is most effective when both partners are willing to explore, reflect, and engage in the process. Together, we create a space where you can heal old patterns and co-create a relationship that feels alive, connected, and resilient.
