Premarital and Couples Counselling

Susan has specialized training and experience using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy to help couples identify the negative cycles they get stuck in which can affect intimacy and the attachment bond. Couples will begin to experience a richer understanding of one another creating a new emotional response that strengthens the attachment bond, increasing trust, safety and intimacy in the relationship.

Due to Covid-19 and the physical office closure, Couples Therapy is postponed. However, Susan can work with one partner to identify his or her experience of the negative cycle and learn ways to cope as well as begin to change the dance to a positive cycle.
