Couples Counseling

Relationship therapy helps people to communicate their feelings and needs to each other without fear of being criticized or attacked.

$ 160 per hour

Accessing couples’ relationship therapy doesn't necessarily mean there's an ongoing crisis in a relationship. To have a long-lasting, satisfactory relationship, many couples opt for counselling. This is one way to meet each other in a safe, non-judgemental space as equals and strengthen their relationship and friendship overall. In couples counselling/therapy, the focus is on creating a safe environment where both partners have the right to openly communicate and share their feelings without the fear of being judged or attacked.

Couples counselling can last anywhere from a few weeks to years, depending on each couple's situation. Recommendations: To get a sense of how couples counselling/therapy benefits your relationship, I suggest you should attend at least three or more sessions. Then assess whether the counselling is making a difference in your relationship with your partner, or at least both are on a path to achieving your initial expected goals.

SUPPORT FOR COUPLES RELATIONSHIP CONFLICT:

Jovel Therapy Toronto - couples counselling, can help resolve relationship problems by focusing on the following:

Intake assessment: Understanding main issues, priorities/goals to improve couples relationships. Review safety issues and others main issues.

Explore the source of conflicts: Sometimes couple members face unresolved traumas, preventing them forming a healthy and flexible relationship with their partners. This can create tensions in the relation.

Lack of communication: If you and your partner have grown apart, you are unlikely to communicate your wants, needs, fears and others, with each other.

Lack of trust: If you and your partner have mistrust issues for infidelities or other reasons, you will not be able to communicate in a health. We offer support to help couple by facilitating open, respectful communication so that both of partners are aware of each other’s true feelings and intentions.

Intimacy issues: Once you and your partner grow apart, it is difficult to develop a strong attachment bond. Even if bot are able to get some moments of romantic privacy, might not going to enjoy them. Couples counselling can help you by taking you back to being a couple and forming a lasting romantic relationship.

Major life changes: Transitions issues such as suffering the loss of a family member or expecting your first child sometimes causes your relationship to experience changes. Couples counselling can help you get through these challenges and find new ways to work together in your relationship

Roles in the relationship

Sometimes the roles in the relationship can be unequally distributed, or even realized in the first place, leading to built-up tension and unhappiness.

In couple counseling, we work to understand how and why both parties view the different roles, and how it affects the relationship overall.

What is good for your relationship?

Beliefs and values

Oftentimes, the beliefs and values people have stem from their childhood and past experiences, and when they don't align within the relationship, miscommunication can happen.

Together with a therapist, couples can work towards gaining a clear perspective into each others' beliefs and values.
