Are you feeling alone in your relationship, worrying that your needs will never be met? Despite your best efforts, you feel like your relationship is slipping away; words can’t seem to fully grasp how you’re feeling. You want to express yourself, but you worry that if you speak up things will get worse. In either situation, you may be asking yourself: am I the problem? You want to rekindle the feelings you once have. You want to feel seen, heard, and understood

**ACCEPTE CLIENTS** Je pratique la thérapie individuelle, familiale et de couple en français et en anglais depuis 2018. Mes domaines de spécialisation comprennent, l'anxiété, la dépression, le stress, l'affirmation de soi, la confiance en soi, le deuil, les problèmes relationnels, la parentalité, les problèmes de dépendances aux drogues et à l'alcool, les craintes liés aux allergies et les transitions de vie. J'ai travaillé pendant 8 ans avec les enfants et les adultes atteints de troubles du spectre de l'autisme. Je sais donc reconnaître les besoins individuels, mais aussi ceux des couples et des familles entourant cette clientèle.

You’ve been through a lot. Maybe you've never told anyone your story; maybe you've only shared it with a select few. And you have heard that talking helps. But you wonder — how many times do I have to re-hash the discomfort before it releases me? How long before I can rest? You might be feeling numb, angry, sad, stuck, hopeless, scared… You may not have a clear direction, or any idea of your goals. You might not know where or how to start. Yes - We all carry our past into the future. But the weight doesn’t have to be unbearable, and you don’t have to hold it alone.

Hello, my name is Christopher Graham, Ph.D., CCHT and I am a hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is often a topic of discussion among people. What does it do? Where does it come from? Do you think it's effective, and why? An individual in hypnosis is simply in a relaxed, focused state of mind. This is similar to our state of mind when we daydream or are just about to fall asleep. Hypnosis is a powerful tool. It helps to reprogram the mind, remove negative patterns, and develop a healthier perspective on life. Through hypnosis, you can reset your life and create more positive, fulfilling experiences.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
