A lot can be at stake when your romantic partnership breaks down: your hopes and dreams for your relationship, your financial future, your children’s well-being and future, your happiness, your sex life, your sense of self-esteem, and the way you are perceived by your peers, your extended family and society at large to name a few significant things.

Couple’s counselling can help.  It can help you to:

• Identify destructive communication habits and develop more constructive ones in their place
• Identify problematic behavioural patterns of which you may not even be aware and learn to conduct yourself in your own best interests as well as those of your partner
• Feel validated as well as teach you how to help your partner feel validated
• Develop greater respect for yourself as well as your partner
• Renew and enhance your emotional and sexual intimacy
• Identify and work towards the goals you have for the relationship
• Identify and manage your tendency to become emotionally overwhelmed or withdrawn when in conflict with your partner
• Keep your relationship (and family) together and thriving, rather than just surviving
• Identify when it is time to end a relationship and how to do so in a sensitive, thoughtful, and constructive manner
