Family & Couples Therapy for Relationship Trauma
Family Counselling:
Family counselling helps families navigate conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen relationships by addressing the underlying dynamics that may be causing tension or dysfunction. It provides a safe space for family members to express their feelings, understand each other's perspectives, and work together to resolve issues like parenting challenges, marital conflicts, or adjusting to significant life changes. Through family counseling, individuals can learn healthier ways to relate to one another, fostering a more supportive and harmonious family environment.
Couples Counselling:
Couples counseling provides a space for partners to work through challenges in their relationship, whether related to communication, trust, intimacy, or other emotional concerns. It offers a supportive environment where both individuals can express their feelings, identify underlying issues, and learn healthy ways to resolve conflicts. Couples counseling is beneficial not only for relationships in crisis but also for those looking to strengthen their bond or navigate life changes together. By working with a therapist, couples can gain insights into their dynamics, develop better communication skills, and create a stronger, more resilient partnership.
Gottman Method:
Couples counseling focuses on helping partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger emotional connection. One well-known approach is the Gottman Method, developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. This method is based on decades of research and emphasizes creating a foundation of friendship, managing conflict constructively, and building shared meaning in the relationship. Through specific tools and exercises, the Gottman Method helps couples strengthen trust and intimacy while teaching them how to navigate disagreements without damaging their relationship. It's particularly effective for couples looking to enhance their emotional bond or address long-standing issues.
