When To Seek Marriage Counselling?
Betty Stockley Counselling understands how unique your relationship is and wants to help you develop the skills necessary to address the inevitable issues you and your significant other encounter. It may be a good idea to seek marriage counselling after experiencing:
- Major life changes: Major transitions such as suffering the loss of a family member or expecting your first child can cause your relationship to experience changes. Couples counselling can help you get through these changes and find the new normal of your relationship.
- Your spouse brings up counselling: If you feel that your relationship is stable and your spouse suggests couples counselling, you may feel that your spouse is considering a divorce. That is usually not the case. If your spouse is being proactive about getting marriage counselling, it most likely means that he or she wants the marriage to work.
- You feel stagnant: Professional marriage counselling can help you find a solution when you feel like you are not progressing or that you are the only one working on the relationship.
How Can Counselling Help My Marriage?
Through couples counselling, you can identify the core of the problems affecting your relationship. You can also get personalized tips and tricks about what to do to help your relationship last longer, the most important of which is effective communication. Additionally, through marriage counselling, you can also develop the skills necessary to keep your partner happy and your relationship blooming.
What To Expect ?
During each session, you will have the chance to talk in a safe space about the problems your relationship is facing and how they are affecting you. At the same time, you must be prepared to listen to the areas in which, according to your partner, you lack. You must also be open-minded and receptive towards the techniques that we will share to modify your behaviour.
Issues we Can Help Resolve
Betty Stockley Counselling in Toronto can help resolve relationship problems by focusing on the following:
- Lack of communication: If you and your partner have grown apart, you are unlikely to communicate your wants, needs, fears etc., with each other. This can sour down the relationship and pull you two further apart. Marriage counselling offers a suitable environment to sit together and communicate openly.
- Lack of trust: If you and your partner do not communicate enough or have too many miscommunications, you are bound to lose trust in each other. We can help you by facilitating open communication between you and your partner so that both of you are aware of each other’s true feelings and intentions.
- Intimacy issues: Once you and your partner grow apart, it is going to become difficult to be intimate. Even if you do manage to get some moments of privacy, there is a high possibility that you are not going to enjoy them. Marriage counselling can help you by taking you back to be a couple, instead of two individuals, thus reigniting the spark.
