Relationship Counselling

Healthy relationships in our lives can create feelings of safety and security in an unpredictable world.

 

Our Services

Humans are social beings.  We have an innate need to connect with others.  The presence of healthy relationships and connections in our lives can create feelings of safety and security in an unpredictable world.  When we don’t have these connections, we are at risk of feeling lonely and isolated.

Many people who seek relationship counselling are yearning for healthy relationships in their lives. Maybe you are in a current romantic relationship but are feeling helpless about how to improve your emotional or physical intimacy.  Perhaps you’ve just gone through a breakup and don’t know how to process the loss.  Maybe you are just finding it difficult to make or maintain meaningful connections.

Areas of Focus

  • Emotional and Physical Intimacy


    Break the cycle of disconnection by exploring and becoming more aware of the triggers, reactive behaviours and underlying emotions that keep you feeling stuck. By understanding these patterns, you can learn new and safe ways to turn towards your partner, build trust and security and ultimately regain the connection you’ve been longing for.

  • Breakups


    Have you just gone through a painful breakup? Counselling provides a safe space to help you process your loss. Whether you are feeling angry, anxious, hurt or ashamed, relationship counselling can help you better understand and manage these emotions. It can also clarify what did not work in your previous relationship and equip you with the tools to help you move forward.

  • Family Relationships


    Do you feel stuck on how to improve your relationships with family members? Relationship counselling can provide new insight into your family dynamic and why you feel stuck in a negative pattern. With the help of a skilled therapist, you’ll learn to set appropriate boundaries and find ways to build realistic and healthy connections with family members.

  • Meaningful Connections


    Does it feel like something is missing from your life? Do you find it hard to connect with friends and co-workers or feel like those relationships are insincere and superficial? Are you feeling isolated or lonely and yearning for a friend who understands you? Relationship counselling can help you find and keep meaningful connections in your life.

  • Single and Dating


    Are you tired of being single? By exploring your past and assessing your attachment style, counselling can help you understand the obstacles standing between you and a meaningful relationship. Relationship counselling can also provide you with the space to identify your values so you can determine who may be a good partner.
