Couples Counselling

All forms of love are welcome

Whether you are gay or straight, younger or older, whether you are a couple of a single race and culture or mixed, at Head and Heart Counselling, all forms of love are welcome.

Couples therapy helps couples identify their problems and talk about them in a way that can significantly deepen intimacy. In therapy with Katherine the couple will learn what the basic, repeating, problematic relationship dynamic is and what person can do to change it.

Each person will learn to identify their triggers and how to overcome them by taking full responsibility for their own reactions. This can be a deep process of investigating past events, defensive reactions, and expanding the capacity to face feeling states.

Katherine helps people learn deep, transparent communication. When we embrace our own vulnerability and cultivate a empathetic container for our partner we invite the kind of intimate emotional contact that human beings crave. Respecting the boundaries and the time our partner needs to open up, we encourage respect and trust.

A relationship built on choice, rather than need integrates seemingly opposite poles of freedom and love, individuality and relatedness. This inner/outer resolution is one of the great challenges life presents us and perhaps why relationships are so challenging but also so rewarding.
