A counsellor’s role is to remain neutral and hold a safe, supportive space where each member of the couple or family feels heard, respected, and understood.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in the same arguments, navigating a major life transition, facing parenting challenges, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond, therapy can help you find clarity and calm in the moments that feel overwhelming. At The Lighthouse–Le Phare, we believe that every relationship has the potential for repair, growth, and renewed connection.

How We Work With Couples

Couples counselling isn’t about deciding who is right or wrong — it’s about understanding each other’s needs, rebuilding trust, and creating space for both partners to feel heard.

Our therapists help couples:
  • Improve communication and reduce conflict
  • Rebuild trust after strain or disappointment
  • Navigate intimacy concerns and emotional distance
  • Manage stressors such as parenting, finances, or life changes
  • Strengthen emotional safety and connection
  • Develop new patterns that support long-term relationship health

We work with all couples, including LGBTQ2S relationships, new partners, long-term partners, and those exploring blended family dynamics.

How We Work With Families

Families come in all shapes and sizes, and each one faces challenges at different stages of life. Family counselling offers a structured space to understand each person’s perspective, interrupt patterns that create tension, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.

Our approach helps families:
  • Improve communication and reduce conflict
  • Navigate transitions such as divorce, co-parenting, or blended family roles
  • Support children or teens through emotional or behavioural challenges
  • Build resilience and strengthen family bonds
  • Understand each other’s needs, limits, and strengths
  • Foster emotional safety and connection within the home

Therapy can be especially helpful when family members feel misunderstood, disconnected, or overwhelmed by ongoing stress.

A Safe Space for Growth

A Safe Space for Growth

Our therapists create a non-judgmental environment grounded in compassion, respect, and evidence-based practices. Together, we work toward rebuilding trust, improving communication, and helping each relationship thrive.

Healthy relationships don’t just happen — they’re built through care, understanding, and support. When you’re ready to begin that process, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
