Individual Counselling and Navigating Relationships –

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone


Whether you’re:

  • Navigating relationship patterns as a single person
  • In Gottman Couples Therapy and need additional support
  • Facing unresolved personal trauma affecting your relationship with your partner, your friends or your family
Individual Counselling provides a space to unpack, heal, and grow.

Healing yourself is a gift not just to you—but to your current or future relationship.

Healthy relationships are built on secure attachment, emotional regulation, and mutual growth. Individual counselling helps people heal trauma that might otherwise sabotage connection, trust, and intimacy. When individuals take ownership of their healing, the relationship benefits—becoming a more stable, supportive, and nurturing bond.

Why Individual Healing Matters in Relationships


Healthy relationships thrive when individuals bring self-awareness, emotional regulation, and secure attachment to the table. But these qualities don’t always come naturally—especially for those carrying the weight of unresolved trauma, difficult past relationships, or unhealthy relational patterns. This is where individual counselling plays a vital role.

Whether you’re single or currently in a relationship, individual counselling helps you:

  • Heal from past emotional wounds
  • Identify and shift unhelpful patterns
  • Develop emotional resilience and clarity
  • Deepen your capacity for intimacy and connection

For Singles: Build Stronger Future Relationships


If you’re not currently in a relationship, this is the ideal time to invest in yourself.

Individual counselling can help you:

  • Break free from past relational patterns
  • Understand your attachment style and how it shows up in dating
  • Build confidence, boundaries, and emotional intelligence
  • Prepare for a healthy, fulfilling relationship grounded in authenticity

When you’re healed and whole on your own, you’re more likely to attract and sustain a secure and meaningful connection.


For Individuals in Gottman Method Couples Therapy: Strengthen Yourself to Strengthen Your Relationship


If you’re already engaged in Gottman Couples Therapy, Individual Counselling is a powerful complement—not a sign of failure, but a commitment to growth. While couples work focuses on the “we,” individual counselling helps you focus on the “me.”

Here’s how individual counselling supports your relationship:

  • Deepens your understanding of how your personal history affects your responses to your partner
  • Gives you space to process emotions that may be too vulnerable or complex for couples sessions
  • Equips you with emotional regulation tools that enhance your ability to stay calm, present, and constructive in relationship dynamics
  • Allows you to support your partner more compassionately by showing up from a place of clarity, not reactivity

Even in the most committed relationships, each partner must do their own healing. By working individually, you not only care for yourself—you actively contribute to the health and longevity of the relationship.

Gottman Certified Therapy

Using the methods created by Dr. John Gottman, the team at Best Marriages addresses the numerous issues commonly affecting couples. These therapy sessions are centered around improving communication, working through disagreements without hostility and building a strong future together.

While these skills must be created and implemented by both members of the relationship in order to be successful, individual counselling can be highly beneficial.

Personality

One of the difficulties plaguing many couples is changes in personality. People evolve; these changes are intensified by negative experiences such as addiction, past abuse and mental or emotional disorders. These situations can place strain on even the most close-knit relationships. The Gottman Method covers this issue. When applied in Individual Counselling, it can provide triumph for trauma victims. Counselors can also help spouses understand the impact these adversities have on their victims. Their partner may never completely recover from the trauma, but they can learn to accept these changes and help their spouse face their problems.

Communication

Another problem acknowledged in the Gottman Method is lack of communication and inability to resolve conflicts. Some people resort to abuse in such situations. Reaching beyond the traditional concept of physical harm, many abuse their partners emotionally. Name calling, accusations, extensive criticism and other forms of hurtful behavior fall into this category.

Individual Counselling with the staff of Best Marriages provides multi-faceted assistance in this scenario as well. The abusive member of the relationship can be taught anger management strategies and more productive methods of communicating their feelings. The spouse subjected to abuse will receive recovery therapy to help provide healing from the harm inflicted by their partner.
