Couples who come to us for help with their relationships can expect that they’ll be heard, helped, and validated. Most importantly, no one person will be prioritized: Equity and inclusion will be held staunchly, so that both people can trust in the process, feel valued, and can continue this emphasis on equity between each other outside of therapy.
Coming to counselling is the best thing you can do for your relationship health; it is the “gold standard” or highest value form of treatment for relationships. That being said, there are many different goals couples have, and often couples are not on the same page about this when beginning therapy. Whether you’re wanting to come to a consensus on the future of your relationship, are clear that you want to be together and want help to improve your relationship, or whether you’ve decided to split and are seeking help navigating this, BestQuest relationship counselling will be tailored to your needs, and leave you in a better position to move forward.
Our approach to working with couples is based on the Gottmans’ understanding of what is important in relationship health, and also on healthy ways of having conflict. We understand that the concept of zero conflict is unrealistic; that to achieve more harmony in relationships, it is crucial to learn new ways of interacting, ways which foster respect and understanding, regardless of the subject or intensity of the conflict.
