relationship counselling in vancouver, bc

Relationships take many forms — romantic partnerships, friendships, chosen family, creative collaborations, co-parenting, queer or non-traditional structures. Whenever nervous systems meet, there is connection, tension, attachment, misunderstanding, and room for repair.

Relationship counselling isn’t about picking sides. We focus on the emotional patterns between you — the habits shaped by history, protection, and longing. Many of us learned to cope by withdrawing, overfunctioning, caretaking, fixing, or going quiet. Those strategies made sense once, even if they’re no longer serving you now.

​

In our work together, we slow down and explore how each person experiences the relationship from the inside. I help you communicate more honestly, stay regulated, and listen with curiosity rather than defence. We practice boundaries, co-regulation, emotional repair, and deeper clarity about what you need.

​

Relationship counselling can support:

• conflict cycles or emotional distance

• communication breakdowns

• friendship ruptures and repair

• queer, poly, or non-traditional structures

• co-parenting or family transitions

• attachment injuries and rebuilding trust

• boundary setting, grief, or life changes

​

My approach is relational, attachment-based, and trauma-informed. The goal isn’t to avoid conflict — it’s to create enough emotional safety that everyone can stay honest, connected, and responsive. Sometimes that leads to reconnection; sometimes it helps clarify the path forward.

Relationships don’t need to be romantic or “in crisis” to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you just need a steady guide and a space to understand each other more deeply.
