Marriage Counselling

  • Are you and your partner struggling with communication breakdowns, recurring conflicts, or emotional disconnection?
  • Maybe you're dealing with deeper issues like trust, attachment wounds, or the impact of past trauma.
  • Whether it's navigating the complexities of blended families, feeling stuck in old patterns, or managing high sensitivity in relationships, these challenges can make it difficult to find peace and joy together.

Pain Points We Address:

  • Communication Breakdowns: Constant arguments or misunderstandings that leave both partners feeling unheard.
  • Attachment Issues: One or both partners may struggle with secure attachment due to family trauma or neglect, leading to fear of closeness or rejection.
  • Trust and Intimacy Problems: Emotional distance or fear of vulnerability often rooted in past betrayals or insecurities.
  • Conflict Escalation: Small disagreements quickly turning into larger battles, leaving both partners feeling attacked or defensive.
  • Emotional Neglect and Parentification: One partner feels overwhelmed by caregiving roles, while the other feels unsupported.
  • Boundary Problems: Difficulty setting or respecting boundaries, leading to enmeshment or feeling taken for granted.
  • Perfectionism & People Pleasing: A tendency to avoid conflict by prioritizing the partner’s needs, causing resentment or a loss of self-identity.

How We Help
Our couples counselling uses Attachment-Informed Techniques, which focus on understanding the emotional bonds between partners. Here's how we work together to create a healthier, more connected relationship:

  • Rebuilding Emotional Safety: Learn how to reconnect emotionally and foster a sense of security through trust-building exercises and open communication.
  • Healthy Conflict Resolution: We teach non-defensive communication techniques to help you break cycles of argument and resentment, leading to mutual respect.
  • Attachment Repair: By identifying and healing attachment wounds from childhood, we help you feel more secure in your relationship, allowing for deeper emotional and physical intimacy.
  • Boundary Setting: Gain tools for setting clear, healthy boundaries that respect both partners' needs, enhancing your emotional well-being.
  • Empathy and Emotional Support: Develop a deeper understanding of each other's triggers and needs, leading to greater compassion and care in daily interactions.
