🌿 Now welcoming new couples therapy clients 🌿

Having the same fight over and over again? Feeling disconnected, like roommates, or struggling to communicate? I love helping couples navigate these issues and find their way back to being friends again.

I’m trained in Level 1 & 2 of the Gottman Method, which offers practical, research-based tools to help couples improve communication, manage conflict, and build a stronger connection.

If you're curious or have questions, feel free to reach out.

📍 Located downtown Charlottetown or Virtually

Do you know how to make an effective repair attempt or do you tend to push things down until they reach a breaking point? Learning how to “fight right” is a skill that you can learn to get your relationship out of unhealthy perpetual patterns.

If you’ve been thinking about couples counselling there is no time like the present! I have a few bookings available in my schedule as early as next week! Check out my availability at HTTPS://knowncounselling.janeapp.com

Every couple faces conflict, but what matters most is how they repair.

Dr. John Gottman found that the success or failure of repair attempts is a key predictor of whether a relationship will thrive or struggle. Small gestures, a kind word, or a willingness to listen can make all the difference.

How do you and your partner repair after conflict? 💬

Counselling should reduce stress not create more. When finances are tight, counselling with an intern can provide the same great service at a reduced rate. Don't let finances hold you back from getting the support and help you need in 2025.

Known Counselling's intern Micaela LeMoine is ready to take on new clients beginning January 8th. Take a look at her schedule and book a meet and greet phone call or first session here:

** Hannah is no longer taking new individual clients (1-2 spots left for couples), If you are a new client please consider booking with Micaela **

Conflict avoidance… more common than you might think!

🫶 I couldn’t be more excited to be launching an online couples workshop based on over four decades of research by Dr John Gottman about what makes relationships work!

💕 This 7 week course will take place online each Sunday night beginning October 29th! It is designed for committed couples who are looking for tools to improve their communication, want to resolve conflict in a healthy way, or who want to deepen their friendship and intimacy. *This program may not be the best fit for couples who are in crisis.

🔥 I am a huge fan of this program and I know that the tools and tips learned will change your relationship for the better! I share this work every day with my couples therapy clients and I wanted to be able to bring this to a larger audience!

✨ It’s important to note that there is no group sharing about your relationship issues, however there will be time given for just you and your partner to discuss the material. Workbooks will be given to each partner.

🤓 Check out knowncounselling.ca for more details and to save your spot!
Spots are limited!

✏️ Back with another back to school conversation starter post! I was so encouraged by all of the great messages I got about people using the prompts! 🥲

🖍️ Now that school has started keep the conversation going using these prompts to help your child process their feelings.

🤓 Remember to remain calm and open yourself when having these conversations. Allow them to speak freely and don’t diminish what they are saying or ask leading questions like “are you nervous about making new friends” instead validate what they are saying and use open ended questions.

💕 Being a parent is hard. Just creating a safe space for your kids is the most important thing. You’re doing great! Let me know how these go!
