RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING LONDON ONTARIO

We work from an attachment-based perspective which understands that we are shaped by our closest relationships and childhood experiences. By examining your relationship history we can connect past experiences and learned behaviour to current unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. We provide healthy relationship education and communication skills to help you navigate setting healthy boundaries and improving your relationship skills. 

Signs that you are struggling with relationships:

• Feeling lonely and like you have no one to turn to
• Frequently feel wronged in relationships 
• Patterns of being in unhealthy romantic relationships or finding yourself months/years into a relationship where you've come to realize that you are not being treated with love or respect
• Determined that you can only be happy if someone else changes their behaviour 
• Experiencing frequent fighting at home, work, or school 
• Noticing that you attract the same “type” of unhealthy people/relationships in your life
• Struggling with self-esteem and feeling shameful about yourself 
• Becoming angry or annoyed with your parents/siblings and/or having difficulty feeling close to your family members
• Craving approval or acceptance from your parents and experiencing feelings of failure or being unloved

Couple Counselling and Marriage Counselling

Individual counselling for relationships helps you work on your own patterns that impact your awareness, understanding and communication in your relationship. This work is important as each person brings their own "stuff" into their relationship. This work can be prior to or in conjunction with marital counselling or relationship counselling where a couple sees a therapist together.
