Relationship and Marriage Counselling:
When your relationship is in trouble it can feel like a you have a dark cloud hanging over the rest of your life as well! You and your partner still love each other, although it doesn't always feel that way. You hate the bickering and have tried every way you can think of to resolve your difficulties. But your efforts seems to deepen the impasse, leaving you feeling more and more hopeless. Your frustration is overwhelming. You worry and wonder if the gradual loss of connection could become fatal to your relationship.
Couple and Marriage counselling can be the answer. As a experienced couples counselling specialist, I have helped hundreds of discouraged and exhausted couples find relief and hope. If your current way of communicating with each other is pulling you apart, counselling may be the most important step you can take.
I support despairing partners to identify and step out of self-defeating communication patterns that likely helped you to navigate through your family of origin dynamics but that now, no longer serve you. The process of exploring and sharing insights about your inner world and deeper longings builds safety and trust. You will be supported to hear, understand and respond to each other in new ways that strengthen the bond between you and rekindle the spark of intimacy you dream of. I encourage you to bring peacefulness, optimism and closeness back to your relationship and life.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Romantic relationship challenges affect both the mind and body, often showing up as tension, anxiety, frustration, or disconnection. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping individuals explore emotions, communicate more effectively, release stored stress, and build greater understanding, connection, and emotional balance within their relationships. My approach is from an attachment and trauma focused lens, leading to the relationship partners to understand themselves better leading to calmer relationships.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If your relationship feels strained, distant, or caught in repeated conflict, you may feel discouraged or unsure how to reconnect. You might find yourselves having the same arguments, struggling with communication, or feeling unseen and unheard. Over time, even small misunderstandings can build into resentment or emotional withdrawal.
At Selah Counselling, we approach relationship and marriage counselling with structure, compassion, and clarity. We help you slow down reactive cycles and understand what is happening beneath the surface. Often, conflict is rooted in unmet attachment needs, unprocessed hurt, or nervous system stress. Together, we strengthen communication skills, rebuild safety, and clarify expectations and boundaries. Whether you are seeking repair after a rupture, navigating transition, or simply wanting to grow stronger, our goal is to help you move from disconnection toward greater understanding, stability, and mutual respect.

Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Couples therapy is a collaborative approach and a safe space to communicate how you feel. Marriage and couples counseling tends to deal with present-day events rather than the past. It focuses on the 'now' and the challenges of married life so that you can get your relationship back on track. Couples therapy deals with the present day but also any history that causes unhealthy patterns of relating. Using the Gottman Method, I focus on communication and conflict resolution and what areas need improvement where we will then learn about creating new connections and rituals. We will also focus on building new meanings and shared value systems that will help you strengthen your relationships.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Understand each other. Repair broken trust. Rediscover intimacy. Couples counselling will help you get back to sharing a life you love in a safe and non-threatening way.
Just like everything else, relationships change over time. Even the ones that start with passion often evolve into something that feels more like being roommates or co-parents.
For some couples, it looks like distance and disconnection. It feels like growing apart. The silence becomes unbearable and the space between you feels too big to ever cross. For others, it looks like anger, disagreement, and even disdain. Communication erodes as emotions run high, and conversations almost never end well. And for all couples, the feeling of not being on the same page — or even in the same book — brings a lot of anxiety.
It can be hard to admit to yourself, let alone explain to your partner, that you think you need relationship counselling. You’re scared of what it means. (Is this the end? What if it doesn’t work?) You worry about what your partner will say. (Will this make things worse?) But, trust me when I say that you’re exactly where you need to be.
Working with a couples counsellor will help you navigate your relationship together. Sessions create safe spaces to share your concerns, listen, and be heard. Over time, you’ll start to better express yourselves. Rebuild trust. Improve communication. Even rediscover intimacy.
So much is still possible for the two of you. And it starts right here.

Melissa MacNeill
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, Certified EFIT, EFCT, and EFFT Therapist, MACP
There's little more exhilarating than finding new love or devastating than the death of a relationship. You feel like you have tried everything but it just isn't working. You love each other and the thought of divorce is terrifying. You feel stuck, but you don't know what to do. I can help. I work alongside you to help you better understand where you are getting stuck and what to do differently. Together, we'll work to restructure problematic patterns of responding, and rekindle your connection.
I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) in my work with couples. EFT is often referred to as the gold standard in couples therapy. The efficacy of the approach is well supported by research with over 90% of couples reporting increased satisfaction in their relationships. Additionally, the results have been found to be stable over time.

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
You might be ready to change unwanted relationship patterns but aren't sure how, wanting to learn new ways of communicating, or are hoping to build more fulfilling, connected relationships. Choosing to embark in relationship counselling isn't a failure, but a vote of hope for you and your relationship. Seeking support is much easier than doing it alone. I offer relationship counselling for a wide variety of partnership dynamics - married, dating, monogamous, polyamorous, ENM, triads, families, and more. I sometimes draw on my trainings in Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method of couples therapy to support you.

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Sexual issues can cause profound problems for both parties in a relationship. This is particularly true if there has been a discovery of secrets or betrayal. There are 3 recoveries in these cases: his, hers and the coupleship.
The issues of trust, betrayal, lying, gaslighting etc. need to be faced to be repaired. I help couples with communication skills as well as methods of dealing with trauma and its aftermath. Trust and intimacy can be restored over time.
