Couples Counselling
General Information
"Love is not the least bit illogical or random, but an ordered and wise recipe for survival.
The need for connection is our first and most basic instinct." - Love Sense, by Dr. Sue Johnson
Couples seek counselling for a variety of reasons. Some are looking to revitalize what feels like an old and stale relationship. Others are hoping to repair a ruptured or broken bond. Some are hoping to simply enrich or improve certain aspects of a healthy relationship.
Healthy adult attachment involves being emotionally available and responsive to one's partner. This process can be inhibited, thwarted, or altered for a number of reasons. At Stillar Psychological, the intentions and goals of couples counselling are collaboratively generated by the couple and counsellor, based on the needs and wants of the specific couple.
