Yanna Martinek
Counsellor/Therapist, R.C.C.
I offer couples counselling grounded in Bader-Pearson’s Developmental Model, which looks at how intimacy and individuality coexist in a relationship. We pay attention to the patterns you find yourselves in—especially during conflict—and work toward staying connected while also being honest about your own needs. This often means slowing things down, understanding what’s happening underneath reactions, and building the capacity to show up differently with each other. The focus isn’t just on resolving issues, but on creating a relationship that feels both connected and sustainable.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Relationships can be one of the most meaningful and also most challenging parts of life. You might find yourself repeating familiar patterns, struggling with boundaries, feeling anxious or withdrawn in connection with others, or having difficulty expressing your needs. Even when relationships are important to you, they can bring up fears of rejection, abandonment, conflict, or not being understood.
In our work together in individual therapy, we’ll explore your relational patterns with curiosity, looking at how past experiences may be shaping the way you connect in the present. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll also pay attention to how these patterns show up in your nervous system, emotions, and sense of self within relationships. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, secure, and confident in how you relate to others while also staying connected to yourself.
I draw from approaches such as IFS, ACT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work on building awareness, boundaries, and communication skills while also supporting deeper healing of relational wounds and attachment patterns.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

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.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Partners often trigger each other’s unresolved wounds, not simply as conflict, but as opportunities for deeper understanding and growth. In our work, we focus on recognizing these patterns, taking responsibility for personal triggers, and developing emotional awareness rather than reacting or blaming. I work with couples both together and individually, supporting each person in addressing their own history so it is not unconsciously brought into the relationship. The goal is to move toward more authentic connection, clearer communication, and a more grounded and conscious way of relating.

Birgit Schreiber Dr
Psychologist, PhD and MA in Psychology
Couple and marriage counselling is a very useful way to resolve challenges in relationships that seem to be recurring, and keep us stuck at a level we actually would like to move beyond. Often, our current relationships are very much shaped by past (parental and family) experiences. Couple work is very rewarding and I feel very optimistic that often times challenges can be disentangled and couples can move on to a more trusting and closer stage.

Inspiring Change Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
Every relationship hits friction — but when the same arguments keep cycling, emotional distance grows, or trust has been broken, it can feel like you're speaking completely different languages. Whether you're working through a specific conflict or trying to rebuild something that has drifted, couples therapy offers a structured space to slow down, listen differently, and start shifting the dynamic. The goal isn't a perfect relationship — it's one where both people feel heard, respected, and genuinely connected.

Michelle Iulianella Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, BEd, MBA, MA, RCC
The experience of emotional intimacy is one of deep trust, connectedness and satisfaction. It is about talking to your partner about what is going on under the surface for you at any given moment. It is about immediacy and transparency. It is about emotionally turning towards your partner instead of away when things feel hard and overwhelming. It is the ability to share your inner world with your partner in a way that leaves you feeling truly seen and heard. Emotional intimacy is achieved through learning, and practicing with intention, a variety of strategies that allow you to experience new ways of thinking about, and existing within, your relationship. The effort required to cultivate these habits is well worth it. Couples experience deeper connection, dramatically enriched physical and sexual intimacy and greater emotional fulfillment. What could be better than that? The reality is that many couples don’t know where to start. Michelle loves working with couples to begin the journey towards emotional intimacy, and enjoys helping them nurture it over time.
Michelle specializes in helping couples become great communicators. She is passionate about helping her clients learn and implement the building blocks of effective, healthy communication. These include strategies for mindful listening, engaging with respect, achieving clarity, and finding the courage to be open. Mindful listening is all about the giving of one’s full attention and being utterly present in the moment. Engaging with respect involves maintaining full responsibility for one’s own thoughts, feelings and behavioural responses. This allows people to stay out of blame and past hurts. Tools for achieving clarity in communication include being specific about what you are saying and being honest with yourself and your partner about your objectives. The courage to be open requires embracing the habits of transparency, immediacy, turning towards one’s partner, and of course, healthy boundaries. Does this all sound a bit daunting? Yes, it does! Can you achieve this? Absolutely. Let Michelle show you how.

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.
