Relationship Counselling for Individuals in Vancouver
Our counsellors will help you build the tools to support your relationships
What is relationship counselling?
Relationship counselling helps you to individually develop the framework, communication skills and understanding to be a better partner within relationships.
Healthy human connection creates space for us to grow as people and is often the foundation for happiness and fulfillment in our lives. However, when connections are broken, it can be overwhelming and detrimental to our well-being.
Healthy relationships require awareness around communication, reciprocation, respect, boundaries, and consideration. Developing these skills through counselling is sometimes necessary to help you understand yourself and how you can communicate yourself better within relationships.
You may seek relationship counselling if:
It is difficult for you to feel safe or trust others
You need assistance in creating healthy boundaries as a couple or as an individual
You have difficulty with family members and/or friends
You tend to people please at your own expense
You are experiencing issues with your romantic partner
You feel fearful or embarrassed in social situations
You have lost your understanding of self and relationship to self during a transitional period
You want to feel confident making new connections
You want to deepen a connection
You want to implement better boundaries
How relationship counselling will help your marriage
Relationships can be hard to navigate and sometimes even painful; even the most caring person can fall into unproductive patterns of behaviour that result in unpleasant feelings toward themselves and their partners. If you notice yourself struggling in any of your relationships, counselling can help pinpoint triggers and sort through unproductive feelings that will help strengthen your partnership and help you become a stronger individual with healthy relationship goals.
Relationship counselling for individuals can be helpful outside of times of friction because it equips you with the tools you need when you are going through a rough patch with your loved ones.
Counselling is useful for anyone struggling with their relationship with a partner, friend, boss, or family member. If you are struggling with sexual intimacy with a partner, contemplating ending a relationship or wishing to deepen an already close connection. I will help you redirect problematic behaviour and provide you with a structure to promote better communication for deeper connections.
