Marriage and Couples Counselling in Burlington
Helping couples stop living like roommates and start living like loving and intimate partners.
You are sleeping on the couch as you no longer feel connected.
You are deeply hurt by what they did.
The fighting and bickering over anything and everything is wearing you down.
Have you thought about going to therapy before but it just didn’t happen? Or maybe you did do therapy and nothing changed?
Most clients who come to see me have been through therapy before, time and time again. Sometimes therapy failed them. Other times they just were not ready for it.
How I Can Help.
Relational Life Therapy is NOT your typical therapy. We break the rules of traditional couples therapy. And it works!
No Therapy Lingo.
We avoid asking questions that has obvious answers like “how does that make you feel?”. Instead, we will have real conversations.
Straightforward and Direct.
We will be transparent and direct. I will help you stay focused.
Take Sides When Needed.
Unlike traditional therapy, we do take sides when appropriate. We don’t believe that all issues in a relationship is fifty-fifty.
Drastic Changes Quickly.
Imagine transforming your relationship within months, not years. Unlike other modalities, RLT helps couples make changes that are meaningful and impactful, quickly.
I’m Paul.
I work with couples who are needing to change the way they do things. The way they talk, listen and relate. I have worked with hundreds of couples in Burlington and across Ontario rebuild their marriages into something that is stronger and more connected.
How I help couples just like you…
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a form of couples counselling developed by therapist Terry Real. It focuses on helping partners resolve conflicts, develop personal accountability, improve communication, and foster intimacy within their relationship. RLT is known for its practical and positive approach, which can lead to immediate change and deeper connections by integrating past traumas and building new relational skills.
RLT differs from traditional therapy by encouraging rapid and significant changes, often breaking many conventional rules to achieve depth quickly. It educates as much as it heals, equipping people with lifelong tools to live connected, authentic lives. Therapists and coaches in RLT are encouraged to be real, open, and honest, setting high expectations for clients to achieve dramatic change. —-Relationallife.ca
