COUPLES THERAPY
with LORD AINSWORTH
Build a better relationship with help
Hello, I'm Lord Ainsworth. I assist couples in enhancing their opportunities for a healthy, enjoyable, and engaging long-term romantic experience. This is achieved through discussion, role-playing, behavior modeling, and various other forms of guidance.
​
Throughout the years, I've had the privilege (and it;s a privilege) to assist many individual and couples in their romantic endeavor. I've come to realization that our relationships or marriages isn't just one vital aspects of our lives, but also how profoundly sacred they are to each of us. So when a couple comes to me for advice and insight, it's as though they are entrusting me with their child, and I take pride in nurturing and handling their relationship with the same care, patience and value as if it were my own child.
Having said that, seeking help for relationship issues is similar to everything we do professionally. We have all been trained and received guidance to achieve success. Relationships is no different. We've all experienced feeling stuck, scratching our heads trying to find answers. It's much like those times when you were stuck on a class assignment and had no choice but to ask your professors for help. With just enough insight from them, you were able to move forward, gaining enough understanding to finally achieve clarity. Couples Counseling is no different. Lord Ainsworth as a relationship advisor or any therapist specializing in couples counseling is here to help with achieving relationship goals.
​
And though we want your relationship to last forever. I would be remiss and would be doing a disservice neglecting the fact that sometimes not every relationship can be salvaged. What any relationship advisor or a therapist specializing in couples counseling can do is guide you towards having that ideal relationship experience with your current partner or your next one. Conflicts are a natural part of your romantic endeavors, and in fact, these challenges are necessary, if you want to brag about how you and your partner overcame certain encounters. Couples Counseling is here to help.
