Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
In relationships, it's common for people to have different ways of communicating. Sometimes these differences can be fun and exciting. Other times, as relationships progress, these communication differences can cause misunderstandings and lead to tensions and conflict. You may also find that communication strategies that were once helpful can start to be ineffective and cause problems.
Using Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for couples, we will work on identifying times of conflict, identifying how and where the miscommunications occurred and conflict increased, and develop skills for both partners to be able to more effectively communicate with each other.

Michelle Iulianella Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, BEd, MBA, MA, RCC
The experience of emotional intimacy is one of deep trust, connectedness and satisfaction. It is about talking to your partner about what is going on under the surface for you at any given moment. It is about immediacy and transparency. It is about emotionally turning towards your partner instead of away when things feel hard and overwhelming. It is the ability to share your inner world with your partner in a way that leaves you feeling truly seen and heard. Emotional intimacy is achieved through learning, and practicing with intention, a variety of strategies that allow you to experience new ways of thinking about, and existing within, your relationship. The effort required to cultivate these habits is well worth it. Couples experience deeper connection, dramatically enriched physical and sexual intimacy and greater emotional fulfillment. What could be better than that? The reality is that many couples don’t know where to start. Michelle loves working with couples to begin the journey towards emotional intimacy, and enjoys helping them nurture it over time.
Michelle specializes in helping couples become great communicators. She is passionate about helping her clients learn and implement the building blocks of effective, healthy communication. These include strategies for mindful listening, engaging with respect, achieving clarity, and finding the courage to be open. Mindful listening is all about the giving of one’s full attention and being utterly present in the moment. Engaging with respect involves maintaining full responsibility for one’s own thoughts, feelings and behavioural responses. This allows people to stay out of blame and past hurts. Tools for achieving clarity in communication include being specific about what you are saying and being honest with yourself and your partner about your objectives. The courage to be open requires embracing the habits of transparency, immediacy, turning towards one’s partner, and of course, healthy boundaries. Does this all sound a bit daunting? Yes, it does! Can you achieve this? Absolutely. Let Michelle show you how.
