Lauren Jin Yong Schneider
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. (Qualifying)
I work to support couples experiencing issues related to intimacy, emotional distance, communication, conflict, betrayals and trust, and life transitions (i.e., marriage, divorce, loss, childbirth). My approach draws from the Gottman method and CBT sex therapy for couples, targeting aspects of conflicting verbal communication; intimacy, respect, affection, and empathy between partners; removal of resistances, issues, and/or sexual concerns that create stagnancy and distance; and increasing intimacy and eroticism to create/maintain desire within the relationship.

Some of the areas covered in counselling include infidelity, abuse, multi-cultural challenges, betrayal/trust issues, obsessive behaviour, boundary issues, conflict resolution, intimacy and sexual issues, communication difficulties, parenting and financial matters. Therapy can help couples to improve their communication styles, and to develop better conflict resolution skills. Therapy can also help you and your partner to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of each other.

Our Approaches
• Our Couples Programs are based in Emotion focused therapy and the
Gottman Method (GM).
• EFT is a leading-edge couples therapy designed to help partners accept, express, regulate, and managing emotion.
• The Gottman Method is backed by rigorous research that focuses on 3 specific areas: friendship, conflict management, and creating a life of shared meaning. Partners identify and recognize the Four Horsemen – negative communication styles- (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling) that can predict the failure of a relationship (with over 95% accuracy) in order to replace these with healthier communication patterns. Couples also learn to identify “bids for communication” from their partner and how to respond to these in ways that strengthen secure bonds. The overarching goal is to help a couple accept their differences, communicates more effectively, and increase intimacy, respect and affection.
