A Place for Counselling
Couple Counselling
Have you found that your partner and you are falling into a pattern of interactional relationship marked by a pursuer-withdrawer, attacker-attacker, or withdrawer-withdrawer stance?
And do both of you feel trapped, helpless, anxious, and fearful from failed attempts to restore the once loving relationship?
I am here to help.
I use an emotion-focused therapy to work with couples. This approach explores the early life development of the couple and the kind of attachments they formed with significant caregivers.
Attachments could be secure, anxious, avoidant, or ambivalent and they do affect the dynamics of the current dyadic relationship.
When a couple learn to unshackle their past, they break free the vicious cycle of blaming and avoidance and form healthier ways to connect to one another. As a result, the relationship becomes more securely attached, caring and loving.
