There are many good reasons to get counselling for a relationship. You may be just starting out together and want to have strategies to get to know one another better, or to deal with challenges that come up in the future. Or you are in an established relationship and have experienced some changes in your circumstances (such as moving, loss, career change)  or have evolved as who you are are as people (this is normal!) and it has affected how you relate to one another. 

It can be very beneficial to have a neutral person help you identify what is going on between you, (not so much the "what happened", rather the "how we relate"), to focus on your strengths, and explore strategies to improve what can be the greatest source of joy, comfort, and support in our lives--our relationships.

My training is in the Developmental Model of Relationships, which explores the stages that relationships naturally go through--going from "I" to "We," and balancing the dynamics of being an individual within the relationship unit. 

Additionally, I trained in Emotionally Focussed Therapy, or EFT, which is about shifting the cycle of negative communication patterns that many relationships fall into, to come back to interacting as a couple who are on the same team , supportive of one another and feeling truly heard.

I also incorporate elements from the Gottmans' research on relationships.
