Couples counselling is an opportunity for each of you to identify and learn about your negative patterns of behaviour that interfere with a loving relationship. Couple counselling can help you modify the patterns and take responsibility for them in a positive way that promotes closeness and intimacy.

Dysfunctional patterns contribute to the couple's inability to identify and to satisfactorily meet their own and each others emotional needs and expectations.

Family members learn to identify and co-operatively work together to solve their conflicts and problems as they relate to the family and family members.
