Imago Relationship Therapy & Couples Counselling
Falling in love is easy…staying in love is another matter.
Love is meant to bring out the best in us. We know this does not always happen.
Our intention is to be loving, compassionate and understanding but we may be locked into negative patterns that are hurtful and destructive. Our relationships may be filled with sadness, disappointment and frustration.
People usually get stuck in dead end patterns because they know no other way. The expert guidance of a psychotherapist trained in couples counselling is often necessary to break the cycle of conflict and distance.
Imago Relationship Therapy is an effective, skill based therapy designed to create stronger, more secure relationships and bring love back into your life. You will learn how to nurture, protect and grow your marriage or relationship, ensuring a lifetime of love.
The skillful handling of differences creates trust and connection, and in large part determines the depth and success of your relationship. You can transform your relationship by mastering the art of communication!
Visualize:
- Freedom from blame and criticism
- Connection after a disagreement
- Love that accepts and honors difference
- Confidence that you can handle any argument with respect and maturity
Through our work together you will learn to use the Imago Dialogue, a communication tool designed for couples to create connection, respect and deepen curiosity for your partner’s perspective.
