Couples Counselling in Kelowna
Find your way back to each other
For two people who keep landing in the same argument and cannot find the way out. Using Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), the couples form of IFS, to slow the cycle and help you hear each other again.
When couples counselling helps
The same argument on repeat. Feeling unheard, or like you are living alongside each other rather than with each other. Drifting apart, or recovering from one thing that broke the trust.
You do not have to be in crisis to come. Couples counselling is for any two people who want to understand each other better and stop repeating the cycle they keep landing in.
For married couples carrying years of history together, the good and the hard. Marriage counselling with me is about understanding the patterns you have built over time, and finding your way back to each other rather than further apart.
Married or not, you are welcome here
Relationship counselling, married or not, you do not have to be married for this to help. Dating, common law, newly together, or decades in, relationship counselling is for partners at any stage who want to communicate better and feel close again.
How the work goes, with IFIO
Both of you are in the room, and sessions run a little longer than individual ones so there is time for both of you.
IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out) is the couples form of IFS. Instead of refereeing the fight, we slow it down, notice what is getting ignited, and learn to speak differently with one another. I also incorporate Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, matching what the two of you need.

Sessions, location, and coverage
Sessions are available in person at my Kelowna office and online across British Columbia. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. Though counselling is not covered by MSP, many extended health plans cover it, and my services qualify for Pacific Blue Cross and Sunlife.

If the same cycle keeps occurring, a short conversation is the place to start. We can talk about what is happening between you and whether I am the right person to help. No pressure, no commitment.
