New Hope Marriage Counselling is here to help strengthen couples in St. Catherines, Ontario. We have over twenty years of experience in helping married couples resolve differences and strengthen their relationships. At New Hope Counselling, we not only have marriage counsellors but a family as well to help the whole family.  The marriage relationship has a deep impact on each person involved in the relationship. This impact can be a tremendous boost or a real negative one if the relationship is not handled correctly.

We help individuals in marriages to be healed from past trauma and to be strengthened for future growth. If we can meet with couples early enough we can help them avoid trauma and heartache caused by bad decisions.  When counselling couples in the St. Catherines, Ontario area, we use a Two Tier approach that proves to have a higher success rate than the simple One Tier approach. Whether you meet with one of our highly trained counsellors, psychotherapists or our , we use up-to-date methods to help bring a high level of success to the couples we counsel.

There are times when s, psychotherapists and counsellors work to only fix the symptoms, which can be beneficial and possibly bring some relief. However, dealing with the root cause will bring a more permanent and resonating relief to the situation. If the root is not dealt with, another symptom will often show up somewhere else in the relationship and cause further damage and lack of trust. Plus, the person with the issue will remain somewhat unsettled as they will know there is still something that needs to be dealt with. We work to facilitate the relationship so that each person in the relationship is strengthened by the other, and a refuge is created where love can be expressed freely, only then the marriage can function as it was intended.

As we serve the St Catherines area, we can offer both in-person counselling at our Burlington office or offsite counselling through FaceTime, Skype, or even by phone. In-person counselling is the most effective, while some type of visual meeting such as FaceTime would be a second alternative. We are excited about delivering positive results for our clients, so we prefer to use methods that will deliver the most thorough results.

It is time to experience the benefits of a loving and caring marriage that has a common goal. In order to do this, adjustments may need to be made, and past traumas may need to be mended. If there is a trauma that is left unattended, it often effects many other relationships and many aspects well beyond the marriage. These traumas may have originated inside the marriage or even prior to the couple meeting. Getting these deep-rooted issues resolved can often bring a new hope and a better future.

Our years of education, training and experience is available to you.  Our desire is to compassionately help you to move forward and restore the love in your marriage.  Making the drive from Puslinch, Ontario to Burlington is worth it!  Take the time to call and schedule an appointment or book online.  Your marriage relationship is worth it!

Traditional talk therapy that is often used by Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Psychiatrists and Counsellors can have its limitations where anxiety, depression and panic attacks are concerned. Talk is only the beginning but the real work happens when we allow our brain and body memory to resolve underlying issues through some of the most advanced therapies available. These modalities have been well researched and have proven to be highly effective in shorter periods of time over just talk style therapy.

We offer a host of therapeutic modalities such as:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
• Emotional Freedom Techniques
• Homeopathy
• Psychosomatic Energetics
• And much more

Resolving your personal issues is paramount to not only your mental health but also to your physical health. Unresolved emotional issues can play a significant role in a person’s current or future physical health. Some noted physicians have stated that 70-95% of all chronic and degenerative diseases arise out of unresolved emotional issues, sexual, physical, verbal and emotional abuse(s) including long held resentment and unforgiveness.

In person counselling typically is more effective and we offer two levels of in person marriage counselling.  The first tier gets to the roots of where the issues are arriving from and the second is the therapy stage that we will mention later.  Once the root of the problems are addressed true healing can take place.  Simply only focusing on the symptoms often times can be very exhaustive and leave you with a sense of hopelessness.  Having the right counsellor is extremely important.  We have the training and experience to bring true, genuine and long lasting results.   We also have the experience to bring recovery and healing to a relationship where there has been betrayal such as an affair.  Many marriages are under extreme pressure because root issues are not addressed and this seems to be on the rise.

Marriage and Couples Counselling and Therapy

We approach the relationship from our unique 2-Tier therapeutic process. Unlike other approaches this approach has proven to restore marriages and to rekindle love in the relationship.

In the Tier-1 phase we listen to each side of the story, we then assess the relationship and each individual’s unique background and how it interferes in the relationship. In this phase of the process we counsel, coach, instruct, and role play and resolve marital issues. We work collaboratively with you and your partner in the following ways:

• Clarify emotional needs.
• Resolve bad habits that destroy love in a relationship.
• Improve communication skills.
• How to handle life’s stressors.
• Help give you supportive tools.
• Guidance and training on rekindling love and passion in your relationship.
• How to forgive and receive forgiveness.
• Rebuilding trust in a relationship.
• Help to create a relationship filled with honesty and respect and security.
• Help you to rebuild after an affair whether it is emotional or physical.
• Plus we utilize several marriage assessment tools to make greater headway.

The Tier-2 phase is implemented when emotional conflicts cannot be resolved through cognitive work and education. In this phase each individual in the relationship is taken through a healing journey that resolves emotional triggers by retraining the brain so that emotions can function in a healthier manner. This phase helps the marriage to become what it was meant to be, an oasis of love.

This dual combination approach to Marriage and Couples Counselling/Therapy has proven to be extremely successful for those couples who choose to go through this restorative and healing process. Restoring love, hope, and trust in a relationship is our goal,.

Often when anxiety hits for the first time people go to the hospital and think that they are having a heart attack or possibly some other life threatening condition. Once they have been told there is nothing physically wrong with them too often they may not be told that they had a panic attack or anxiety attack which then causes shame to set in. For your sake take action and get help for your anxiety disorder.

Suggested steps to take to get help for your anxiety disorders:

• See your family physician to rule out anything physical.
• Set up a counselling or psychotherapy session.
• Obtain Complimentary Alternate Medicine (C.A.M.) and holistic approaches.
• Pursue social support from people who have also suffered from an anxiety condition as well as from family and friends.
• Participate in available self-help groups and networks, and internet communities.

These are all important steps to take so that you are not feeling alone which contributes to more anxiety.

Traditional talk therapy can help that Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Psychiatrists and Counsellors use, but there are times that further steps may need to be taken.  Getting to the root of your problem is key. We may also need support to provide natural healing to mind and body.   

Some effective therapies to consider:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

• Emotional Freedom Techniques

• Complimentary Alternate Medicine (C.A.M.)

• Life Coaching to help you with lifestyle changes that need to be implemented.

You are important and so is your health, unresolved anxiety can play a significant role in your current or future physical health.
