Life is in a constant flow of transition, it just is  – sometimes smooth and sometimes overwhelmingly difficult….ie) divorce or any change in relationship status, post-graduation reality, career loss or change, aging, empty-nesting, moving, health-related change…the list is pretty well endless.

We are happy to offer phone or Skype sessions to our clients as we don’t want geography, lack of internet access or added childcare costs to be prohibitive factors in benefitting from our services.

Most couples seek counselling as a last-ditch attempt to save their relationship. Unhelpful and often harmful communication patterns may have become so deeply entrenched they consume the relationship, leaving no room for happy memories together or remembering why they are still together at all. It often feels like there is no hope. Many traditional approaches to couples, marriage and relationship counseling explore familial patterns and childhood experiences which may have contributed to the current challenges in their relationship. These are, without question, valid approaches. However, at the Gilmour Group we are less interested in the history of the problem (our clients have probably already spent enough time and energy trying to figure that out prior to coming in to see us) but rather our focus is primarily on pragmatic steps to walk our clients ‘out of the problems’ and ‘in to the solutions’ to them. Our goal is to do this as quickly as possible.
