Counselling Services

You may be feeling overwhelmed by these challenges, experiencing anxiety, frustration, sadness, or confusion about how to move forward.  Counselling provides a supportive environment where you can untangle these emotions and gain insight into your relationship's dynamics.

Therapy for Relationships

Using an approach grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment theory, and somatic practices, I help individuals and couples understand the deeper layers of their relationship dynamics and patterns.  Together, we explore how past experiences, attachment styles, and current choices shape your relationship.

What to Expect from Relationship Counselling

Whether you're coming in as an individual or a couple, relationship counselling is designed to meet your unique needs.  As an individual, you may focus on how your personal patterns, attachment style, and emotional experiences affect your relationship.  Couples may work together to address communication challenges, improve understanding, and rebuild trust or connection.  In both cases, the aim is to help you navigate the complexities of relationships with more awareness, resilience, and compassion.

Sessions are collaborative, focusing on practical tools and insights that support healing and growth.  You can expect a safe space to express your thoughts, explore difficult feelings, and take active steps toward improving your relationship.

If you're ready to explore how relationship counselling can support you or your relationship, reach out today to begin your journey toward deeper understanding and connection.

How Can Counselling Help?

Relationship counselling provides a unique opportunity to:
  • Cope with current relationship struggles and process painful emotions
  • Understand both personal and relational patterns that may be keeping you stuck
  • Explore attachment styles and how they influence your interactions, needs, and conflicts
  • Develop tools for effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional expression
  • Strengthen intimacy and connection while respecting boundaries
  • Clarify values and align them with your relational goals

There are many reasons people seek relationship counselling, including:

  • Communication breakdowns and recurring conflicts
  • Emotional disconnection or feelings of loneliness within the relationship
  • Trust issues, infidelity, or betrayal
  • Navigating life transitions (eg. parenthood, moving, loss, illness, accidents)
  • Differing expectations around intimacy, roles, or long-term goals
  • Repeated unhealthy or dysfunctional patterns
  • Feeling stuck or uncertain about the future of the relationship
  • Desire for personal growth or to deepen connection
  • Navigating separation or divorce

Relationships are central to our wellbeing, yet they can be incredibly complex and challenging.  Whether you're facing difficulties in a long term relationship, newly navigating conflicts, seeking a deeper connection, or even trying to find your person, relationship counselling offers a compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore your feelings, patterns, and dynamics.
