Marriage and Couples Counselling Ottawa

 


If you and your partner have been having constant unresolved relationship difficulties, you may find couples’ therapy extremely rewarding, even if at times it is difficult, stressful and frightening.

  • You will have opportunities to learn more about yourself and your partner in a safe environment.
  • You will learn new ways to talk to one another about things in a more positive manner.
  • You will have the opportunity to learn to identify patterns of behaviour that arise between the two of you that seem to come up out of nowhere, but, in fact, do have their origins in other parts of your life.
  • The more you become aware of the existence of these patterns, and where they come from, the more you will actually have some choice in altering them and their effects on your relationship with your partner.
