Do you feel that you and your partner are having difficulties communicating? Or that there always seems to be a conflict that both of you struggle to solve? Maybe you find yourselves repeating negative behaviours, and that you are also struggling to correct these. If you find your relationship to be facing these issues, emotion-focused therapy can help build a stronger emotional bond for you and your partner.

Do you feel that either you or your partner has difficulty trusting the other? Do you find that you or your partner struggle with needing constant reassurance? Do you feel stressed, drained, or overwhelmed as a result of these anxious behaviours? This can be a sign that there is an anxious attachment in the relationship.

Does finding time to even think about making time for your relationship seem to be getting harder and harder? You may be feeling more and more pressure to work longer hours, keep our kids entertained, and care for your parents.

Participating in couples therapy can provide vital support for the health of your relationship by giving you tools that you can use to make your relationship last, but it is often an under-utilized resource.

Attachment patterns from early childhood can greatly affect relationships into adulthood. Styles of attachment are formed in the first few years of our lives. These patterns carry over into our intimate relationships and even how we parent our own children.
