Couples And Individual Therapy

Couples Counselling and Psychotherapy

Can be helpful for angry or estranged couples, struggling with frequent arguments and betrayed trust, or heading for separation and divorce, as well as for conflict avoidant couples. Couples therapy aims to help you improve your knowledge about yourself, your partner and the patterns of interaction between the two of you. You and your partner can learn to overcome individual blocks and acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to be in the relationship you both want to be in.

Are you tired of arguing with your partner?

Do you feel like he or she just can’t hear you? 

Are you often hurt and angry …?

Feeling discouraged … alone … not good enough …? You can reconnect and love again!

In my work with couples, I take an integrative approach informed by Differentiation and Attachment theories. I work within a framework that incorporates the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method to foster secure, resilient, and growth-oriented relationships.

 

I can support you and your partner, help you generate solutions and make improvements if you are going through a difficult time in your relationship, living in a blended family, or experiencing barriers in your communication.


The more effort you are willing to put in (while in therapy), the more likely you are to get the outcome you desire …

Will you pass this opportunity, or will you take it and work towards building the life and relationship you want?!

Individual Psychotherapy

Individual Therapy can help you improve your behaviour, communication, and social functioning when you’re experiencing overwhelming stress, grief, anger, anxiety, depression, or conflict at home or at work.

 

To best meet each client’s unique needs, I use an integrative approach that blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic theories, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Logotherapy, and trauma-informed practices. This allows us to explore both present-day challenges and underlying patterns, cultivate meaning and purpose, build practical coping skills, and support meaningful, sustainable change.

At LCCS you can find emotional and cognitive support with life transitions and adjustment to new situations and environments (starting a new career, new family, moving to a different location, managing acculturation stress or struggling with decision making).

I offer confidential, non-judgmental, person-centered professional services.
