Relationship Therapy

Committing to another person requires a delicate balance—honouring our own needs while considering those of our partner. This balance can be particularly challenging in intimate relationships, where the desire for independence and self-expression may at times conflict with our need for connection, acceptance, and loyalty.

My Approach to Relationship Therapy

I believe that even the most difficult conversations can take place when both partners are present, composed, and willing to engage. By fostering a safe and supportive environment where you can express yourself openly and feel heard, we can begin to rebuild a relationship that is more aligned, resilient, and fulfilling.

A strong relationship is not defined by the absence of conflict but by the ability to navigate challenges without feeling overwhelmed. When relationships become strained, our instincts often lead us to unhelpful behaviours—focusing on being "right" rather than understanding one another. These moments, and how we respond to them, can reveal the true health of a relationship.

As your therapist, I take an active role. I will challenge you, encourage you to step outside your comfort zone, and guide you toward more constructive interactions. My approach is rooted in fairness, respect, and impartiality, ensuring that both partners feel valued and accountable.

I often find that couples who struggle with resentment and hostility toward each other still manage to remain calm and rational in their interactions with others. By tapping into these existing skills, I help couples set aside blame, resentment, and anger to create a more constructive and compassionate dynamic.

If you are considering relationship therapy, I ask that you come with a willingness to take responsibility—not just for your partner’s actions, but for your own. Growth requires accountability, but it also requires kindness and a genuine commitment to change.
