Couples Counselling

I believe in our innate capacity and longing for intimacy and connection, alongside our need for the time and place to be alone and in solitude. As each couple is as unique as the individuals who have paired, how I approach their particular difficulties will be different. I always touch on their relationship dynamics, how they respond to each other and make explicit the patterns that has evolved between them.  With deeper understanding of how this pattern has developed while attuning to deeper emotional statements and needs, possibilities open up to respond in different ways that are more conducive to their underlying yearnings of connection. For some, noticing communication styles that have a destructive force makes a great difference in the tone of their relationship. Criticism or self judgement does not change relationships yet understanding your own and your partners  learned relational patterns and challenging implicit relational  knowing can help couples work on their difficulties. The individuals love language is another way in which couples bring greater awareness to where they are ‘missing’ each other. Working in many eclectic ways on various levels in the relationship broadens the capacity of the couple to move in ways which are freeing and loving at the same time.

What My Clients Say

Lisa

“The counselling sessions I had with Urja were both enlightening and cathartic. She is an empathetic counsellor who, through her insight and knowledge, assisted me with voicing some deep-seated trauma and pain. Urja created a safe environment that was conducive to me exploring and finding a greater understanding of my anxieties and a greater awareness of my hopes for the future. Thank you Urja”.

Elva

“I was very hesitant about going to counselling but finally did so from my need to talk to someone neutral about my problems and concerns. I’m so glad I did! I felt so relieved that someone understood my troubles and I had a good experience. Urja and I worked well together. She was compassionate and professional. Urja encouraged me to work out my own feelings in a very constructive way. I now think more clearly which has led to positive changes in my life”.
