Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
My mission is to inspire a deeper appreciation, emotional connection, intimacy, and attraction in your relationship.
Many couples still love each other deeply but find themselves feeling disconnected, misunderstood, stuck in conflict, or unsure how to find their way back to each other. Over time, unresolved hurts, stress, resentment, and emotional distance can slowly replace the closeness and desire that once brought you together.
The good news: relationships can heal.
As a Relationship Attraction Specialist and couples counsellor, I help partners rebuild emotional safety, strengthen attachment, restore intimacy, and rediscover the connection and attraction they desire. I believe attraction is not only about chemistry — it is deeply connected to feeling emotionally safe, valued, understood, respected, and chosen by your partner.
I specialize in relationship challenges and help couples understand the deeper patterns underneath conflict, including attachment styles, emotional triggers, communication differences, relationship polarity, and the wounds from the past that may be affecting the present.
My approach integrates leading evidence-based couples therapy methods, including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. These approaches provide couples with practical tools, deeper insight, and skills to create meaningful and lasting change.
It is incredibly rewarding to witness couples heal old wounds, improve their attachment, and begin treating each other as collaborators instead of adversaries. Together, we work toward creating a relationship where both partners feel seen, heard, validated, desired, and deeply connected.
How Can Relationship Counselling Help?
• Rediscover love, empathy, appreciation, and emotional connection in your relationship
• Feel seen, heard, and validated instead of feeling blamed, criticized, or abandoned
• Create emotional safety and learn how to become a team instead of opponents
• Understand how attachment patterns and past experiences influence your current relationship
• Learn how relationship polarity, intimacy, and emotional connection influence attraction in long-term relationships
• Rebuild trust after emotional or physical betrayal
• Move beyond anger, defensiveness, and control by connecting with deeper emotions and needs
• Develop healthy boundaries and make choices that create more peace and stability
• Learn communication and conflict-resolution skills that strengthen every relationship in your life
One of the most important parts of a healthy relationship is understanding your partner’s inner world — including what happens when they become emotionally flooded.
As the Gottman Institute teaches, couples create stronger bonds when they learn to understand, respond to, and care for each other’s emotional experiences.
Your relationship does not have to stay stuck in the same patterns.
Together, we can transform your relationship:
From conflict to connection.
From distance to desire.
From struggle to strength.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Healing is not a linear path — it’s a creative, embodied unfolding. As an Expressive Arts and Somatic Therapist, I offer a space where movement, image, sound, and story come together to help you reconnect with your body’s wisdom and your inner voice. Through gentle curiosity and creative exploration, we work to release what has been held, rediscover your resilience, and move toward a greater sense of aliveness and wholeness.
Whether you are navigating stress, trauma, transitions, or simply longing to feel more connected to yourself, our sessions invite you to listen deeply — not just with your mind, but with your whole being.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help uncover the ways we have been coping and the patterns of behaviour that we continue to use.
I work with people who are struggling with trauma, including sexual assault, childhood abuse and family estrangement. I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, chronic illness/chronic pain, issues with self-worth and grief/loss. I also hold space for individuals who are going through all the life transitions that we go through from our late teens to 40s.
I believe healing happens through connection and safety. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom. My approach is warm, collaborative and honest. I am genuinely interested in what is going on for my clients and will wade through the messiness that is life with you.
In our work together, I focus on the mind-body connection within a trauma-informed, client-centred space. We’ll process experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, supporting meaningful, lasting change. I pull from Adlerian Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and somatic approaches to understand my client’s world.
If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step toward your growth and well-being, reach out to book a free consultation or initial session. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your healing journey.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
I deeply enjoy offering psychotherapy because it provides a powerful and accessible medium, where we can share and uncover, allowing me to assist people to live a meaningful and fulfilling life with with joy, resilience and growth. It’s an incredible privilege to create a safe and compassionate space where someone feels seen, heard and understood, often for the first time. Being part of a journey where individuals uncover their inner strengths, navigate challenges and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, reduce their symptoms and address problems is profoundly rewarding. I have 25 years of experience in psychotherapy (with PhD) and my approach is built on gentleness, openness, acceptance and curiosity, and together we find ways to disentangle, understand, manage, and change unhelpful patterns, overwhelming feelings, challenging conditions, or past experiences that can hold us entrapped. I recommend an initial consultation to get to know each other. I pursue a multimodal therapy approach and have extensive knowledge in dealing with psychological, social, relational, family and professional problems. My specialisations include, among others:
• Stress management, coping strategies and burnout prevention
• Reactions to any stress, including relational, social, familial, personal and professional
• Anxiety disorders and related symptoms
• Depressions and related challenges around mood
• Challenges in professional life, especially during career changes and in leadership positions
• Adjustment disorders, losses, separation, trauma and other life changes
• Problems in interpersonal relationships, partner and family challenges
I prefer to work in an active and collaborative way. Together we find ways to understand and change some aspects in your life, in sustainable ways. Please feel free to reach out and write to me with any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
Our wounds show up in our relationships — social, professional, intimate, and even with ourselves. Through our work together, I can help you address these wounds at their core so that your healing is deep and profound and leaves a lasting impact. Life will always throw curve balls at you, but you can be stronger and happier from the inside, out — not just on the surface. I've helped many struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, 1st or 2nd-generation immigrant experience, relationship conflict, communication challenges, rebuilding trust and connection, and the complexities of multicultural relationships and the different in-law dynamics and expectations. And if you're not sure what the issue is exactly, I can help you figure that out. I aim to make therapy as impactful as possible while keeping the experience as light as possible by blending warmth with a directness and practicality. We can work in English or Arabic - with an Egyptian flavor!
