I’m a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist offering therapy for individuals and couples. My work is attachment-informed, collaborative, and focused on helping people understand themselves and their relationships with more compassion and less self-blame.
Clients often tell me: "I finally get why I react this way, and now I know how to change it."
Whether you're a couple rebuilding trust or an individual ready to stop repeating old hurts, therapy here is about results: less edge, more ease.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: My approach is straightforward, collaborative, and grounded in real conversation. I draw from a range of evidence based therapies, including approaches that focus on emotions and relationships, understanding the impact of past experiences, and learning practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and responses.
I pay attention to what is happening in the moment, what is getting in the way, and what actually helps things shift in everyday life. That can include understanding emotional patterns, working with protective responses, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and building more effective ways of coping and relating to others.
I am a direct therapist who will be honest with you in a supportive way. I do not shy away from difficult topics and I believe we can talk about almost anything together. At the same time, I aim to be compassionate and respectful, meeting you where you are while also helping you move toward meaningful change.
The goal is not just insight, but real movement in how you feel, relate, and live your life.

Therapy Sessions
Angela Fawcett Practice Description
I offer virtual evidence‑informed individual and couples therapy for partners in Alberta and Ontario, with secure online sessions from the comfort of your own home, so you can focus on reconnecting without the stress of travel. My approach is collaborative and down‑to‑earth; I believe couples work best when both of you feel safe enough to be real and supported enough to try something new.
Using an emotion‑focused couples therapy (EFT) approach, I help you understand the patterns that keep you stuck and guide you toward more secure, honest, and caring communication. My work is attachment‑based, which means I pay attention to how early relationship experiences still shape how you relate today.
I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts‑work, helping each of you get to know your inner “parts”-the protectors, the critics, the younger wounded selves-and how they show up in the relationship. This creates more self‑compassion, less blame, and a clearer path to healing together.
If you’re looking for couples counselling that is emotionally grounded, thoughtful, and respectful of both partners’ inner worlds, we can work together to build a stronger, more connected, and resilient relationship.
I also offer individual therapy for people who want to feel more steady inside themselves, make sense of what they’re going through, and move toward a life that feels more manageable and a little more like you.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship stress, or just feeling like you’re going in circles, I try to meet you in a way that feels genuine, practical, and respectful of your experience. Therapy doesn’t need to be heavy all the time; sometimes we can laugh at how weird our minds are, cry at how hard life can be, and slowly learn how to be a bit kinder to ourselves.
My work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and emotion focused, attachment based therapy. IFS helps us understand the different parts of you that may be working hard to protect you, even when they leave you feeling numb, scattered, or a bit too hard on yourself. Emotion focused and attachment informed approaches help you make sense of how past relationships shape the way you feel about yourself and others today. Together, we’ll work to increase self compassion, reduce inner conflict, and help you show up in your life with more clarity, calm, and confidence.
