Couples Counselling

ABOUT WANDA

Wanda offers a profound and accessible approach to couples counseling using the principles of attachment theory. This method acknowledges that relationship challenges often arise from the intricate interplay of our emotional bonds and attachment styles. Under Wanda's guidance, couples find a secure and supportive space to explore their relationship dynamics and gradually untangle their complexities.

Attachment theory identifies four main styles:

- Avoidant: Individuals with an avoidant attachment style tend to distance themselves from emotional closeness, often feeling uncomfortable with intimacy and relying heavily on self-sufficiency.

- Anxious: Those with an anxious attachment style crave closeness but often worry about their partner's availability and commitment, leading to dependency and fear of abandonment.

- Secure: Individuals with a secure attachment style feel comfortable with intimacy and independence, fostering healthy, trusting, and balanced relationships.

- Disorganized: People with a disorganized attachment style may display a mix of avoidant and anxious behaviors, often resulting from past trauma or inconsistent caregiving, leading to confusion and unpredictability in relationships.

Integrating attachment theory, Wanda collaborates closely with her clients to uncover the underlying sources of their relational distress. Together, they work on identifying and reshaping negative interaction patterns, cultivating healthier communication strategies, and fostering resilience in the face of relationship challenges. This journey is rooted in practical tools that empower couples to strengthen their emotional connection, nurturing enduring love and cultivating a harmonious partnership.

Wanda’s caring approach helps couples develop important skills that go beyond resolving conflicts. At the core of this process is the development of self-awareness and mutual understanding, guiding clients in tending to their emotional landscapes. By nurturing emotional regulation and adaptive problem-solving skills, couples acquire the necessary tools to address relationship triggers and navigate past experiences that might cast shadows on their present connection. This journey of self-discovery empowers couples to attune themselves to their responses and patterns, enabling them to approach challenges with compassion, embrace healthier communication, and establish the boundaries crucial for their well-being.

Guided by Wanda’s integrated therapeutic approach, the journey of transformation unfolds, leading couples to an improved state of relational and emotional well-being. Armed with tangible tools cultivated through her expert guidance, clients are empowered to flourish and navigate the intricacies of their relationship with resilience and clarity.
