My Approach to Helping

My specialty is marriage and couple's counselling and sex therapy.

Mindlessness, not malice, is responsible for most couple problems. You did not intend for your relationship to turn out this way. Marriage and couples counselling can help you recover the good faith you once had in each other.

Couple and marriage counselling is an investment so you want to be assured that you receive effective and cost efficient counseling. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is a couples counseling method that boasts a 75% success rate in clinical studies. Couples In Step therapist Irene Oudyk-Suk, is a certified EFT couples therapist, and continues to train extensively in EFT.

Sexual issues are often part of a couple's presenting concerns. Irene Oudyk-Suk is a BESTCO registered sex therapist.

My Therapy Focus

I am passionate about working with couples. In today's world we rely more and more on just a few significant people to be our cheer leaders and our sources of support when we're in need. Many of us rely on just one person -- our partner. So it is so important to protect and nurture those significant relationships. Of course in every close relationship there will be moments when we feel unsupported, neglected, and unappreciated. At those times we need to know how to get back to feeling emotionally connected. That's why my work with couples focuses on helping couples feel emotionally safe and protected in their relationships. In recent years there has been a great deal of research on adult love relationships. We now have a science of adult love. I use these scientific findings to guide couples who feel emotionally distant or hostile to get back to feeling safe and secure with each other.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Research shows time and time again that the most salient factor in effective therapy is the client's perception that the therapist is effective and helpful--this is regardless of the therapist's training, experience, or skill level. So, trust your own wisdom here. If you feel your therapist is helping you, then he/she likely is!
