Relationship Counselling
Do you feel stuck in an unhealthy relationship that prevents you from feeling excitement and joy? You may feel frustrated with dating apps and the pressures of online dating in our modern world. Or you are still dealing with hurt from past relationships.
All these experiences can leave you feeling alone and defeated, wondering if something is wrong with you, and if you will ever find someone to share your life with. Working with our therapists, who specialize in relationship counselling online, will help you break free from the hurt and unhealthy patterns in past relationships and build more confidence in yourself.

deepen your relationship with yourself and build more self-compassion
Healing from breaking up
You feel broken and devastated when relationships end. Your hopes and dreams are gone. With the empathy and sensitivity of a professional relationship therapist, you can learn to grieve the end of a relationship and process the accompanying difficult emotions (pain, resentment, sadness, loneliness, guilt, etc.). You will also better understand what did not work in the previous relationship and what you need to make a healthy relationship possible. You can discover who you are outside of a relationship and rebuild your life.
Recovering from an affair or infidelity
Trust is broken and you are living in turmoil at the discovery of an affair. You are ambivalent about staying or leaving the relationship. You are not sure if you can ever trust your partner again. Relationship counselling can help you explore and process the affair or infidelity, express painful emotions, and reclaim your agency. If you are the one who is involved with an affair, speaking to a relationship therapist can help you better understand what may have prompted the infidelity, cope with feelings of guilt and shame, and talk about your concerns and needs in building a long-lasting relationship.
Being single and dating
Do you keep dating the same kind of people over and over? Do your relationships always seem to follow a similar pattern? Do you feel like the people you meet do not want the same thing as you or are not emotionally ready to commit? Or do you feel anxious about committing to a long term relationship? Relationship counselling can help you learn about your attachment style and how it impacts the way you relate to and connect with a partner. Start with yourself to change the relationship patterns and become more aware of your responses and choices in dating.
Lack of confidence in dating
Dating is daunting and it does involve getting out of your comfort zone and taking risks. There is no guarantee that a relationship will work out or that you will not be hurt. You may lack confidence because your past relationships have not been successful. You may have difficulty in attracting potential partners. Or you may have been out of the dating scene for years. Relationship counselling can help with your confidence by identifying past hurt and beliefs you have about yourself that may be preventing you from meeting someone. I can help you feel more positive and confident about yourself.
Lack of emotional connection and intimacy in current relationship
Do you feel you are not connecting with your partner or feel guilty for your lack of desire? Or perhaps your partner is not ready to seek couples therapy. Relationship counselling can help you explore and become more aware of your own triggers, reactive behaviours, and emotions, and how they contribute to the negative pattern in your relationship. It can also help you learn to be more responsive and engaged with your partner.
