Couples Counselling

Unhappy couples often have greater chances of relationship breakdown or separation and lower physical and mental well-being levels. Our clinical counsellors have helped many married and unmarried couples improve the quality of their relationships using well-proven counselling techniques and approaches.
You may want to enhance or improve parts of your relationship. Couple counselling offers an opportunity to build better communication before making a significant life decision such as marriage and children. If you, along with your partner, are struggling with complex or emotional issues, let us help you with couples counselling in Vancouver.
Whats Involved?
Couples therapy relies on a dynamic mix of our histories, personalities, past and current patterns, and future goals. This dynamic mix requires specialized skills from your therapist. Rarely does one therapeutic approach fully address all issues, which is why we have a diverse skill set to serve you. Our focus is toward relationship solutions that work at Clearheart Counselling.
Providing new communication skills to locate core issues, and then addressing those issues for ongoing success is recommended. Therapeutic models that we draw upon include Emotion-focused therapy, Conscious Communication from the Hendricks Institute, Imago, to name a few.
Despite Some of Your Best Efforts, Even with Great Intentions – Relationship Challenges May Feel Overwhelming or Defeating
All relationships struggle at times, but sometimes these struggles impair the connection you have with your partner, robbing the happiness of everyone involved. When this happens, or you have a feeling that it is starting to happen, or even if you want to improve your understanding, it is time to consider couples counselling Vancouver.
Couples Counselling Can Help
Relationships are cultivated, requiring attention and skills. Relationships require that we grow to thrive. Couples counselling or Individual Counselling can help to identify the issue and resolve it. Underlying unresolved issues from the past may be fuelling the behaviours you are experiencing now.
Find understanding and solutions that shift behaviours, keeping you stuck or dissatisfied.
Learning new communication tools and skills may be the best approach to grow again.
Who Needs Couples Counselling?
Couples counselling Vancouver focuses on providing couples with an experience that helps them resolve the distance and conflict in their relationship and move towards a stronger connection. Clearheart Counselling Vancouver offers a safe, non-judgemental way to create a space where you can express yourselves better. You may like to consider counselling if you are constantly unhappy, dissatisfied, or frustrated in your relationship. It can also be of help if you are struggling to make sense of a breakup or separation.
Lets Work Together
Couples counselling works by re-opening and strengthening communication between you and your partner. During couple counselling, you need to work together with your partner and address disagreements, including infidelity, affairs, or any variety of past occurrences that may be leading to current distress in the relationship. The goal of couples counselling is to establish healthy communication between couples and build positive lines of interaction while exploring past behaviours. It aims at identifying the patterns to the behaviours and, if there are any patterns, it analyzes their root cause. Our clinical counsellors will work with you and your partner together and independently to reach a solution that works for both.
