From helping you relax your anxiety during pre-natal stage to help you come out of post-partum depression , maintain a strong sense of self and connection with your partner.
As a social worker, I am deeply passionate about supporting families who face challenges with their children's behavior. I understand the profound impact that a constantly stimulated child can have on the entire family dynamic, often leading to feelings of overwhelm and strain on parental relationships. Through my work, I aim to provide compassionate guidance and practical solutions to help families navigate these challenges with resilience and strength. I can provide guidance on significant transition that occurs from pregnancy through postpartum, as parents navigate the joys and uncertainties of welcoming a new addition.

Couples will learn how to engage in healthier communication, reconnect and foster intimacy and resilience.
Do you feel disconnected with yourself, your loved ones, your work or your purpose? Do you sometimes feel like you are missing out on something and there should be more to life? You are definitely not alone. Our bodies and minds naturally shut down and try to avoid unpleasant and painful emotions. This is problematic in two ways – the feelings and stress simply fills like a balloon until it is unbearable and bursts, while at the same time our strategies for shutting out the unpleasant feelings also shut down our experiences of the good and joyful, impacting our connection with ourselves and relationships with others.

Couples Counselling

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
