Online Therapy in Ontario & BC
Registered Psychotherapist
Being part of a couple comes with its challenges. The stress of everyday life can result in conflict that seems unsolvable. Couples counselling can help partners interact better, work through problems together and move past them.
Collaboratively we will work on your therapy goals as a couple. Using emotionally focused therapy (EFT), we will look at skills and techniques of changing patterns of communication, interaction, and emotional connection.

Rawda Tomoum
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, CGT
As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I have extensive experience helping couples who feel stuck in conflict and emotional disconnection and those unsure how to repair trust and closeness. I help couples understand the patterns between them and the factors contributing to the vicious cycle you're experience. I teach you practical ways to communicate more effectively, work through conflict, and rebuild emotional safety and connection. I also support multicultural and mixed couples navigating differences in values, family expectations, in-law dynamics, identity, and culture.

Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Our intimate relationships are where our deepest issues arise and our greatest healing can occur. In couples therapy we build on the principles of openness and honesty, creating a safe space where each partner can safely share their deepest needs and concerns. We work on individual awareness of personal issues that each person brings with them from their past while focussing on deepening the connection that they each yearn for.

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 You might find yourself repeating familiar patterns, struggling with boundaries, feeling anxious or withdrawn in connection with others, or having difficulty expressing your needs.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.

Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Relationships can become strained when conflict repeats, communication breaks down, trust has been damaged, or partners begin to feel emotionally distant from one another. I help couples better understand the patterns shaping their relationship and work toward healthier communication, greater emotional connection, and constructive ways of addressing conflict. My work with couples draws from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.

Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Even strong relationships can reach points of tension or distance—where communication breaks down, needs go unmet, or old patterns keep repeating. In couples therapy, I help partners slow down reactive cycles, understand the emotions beneath conflict, and rebuild connection through empathy and honesty. Whether you’re repairing trust, navigating major life changes, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond, our work can help you feel more understood and supported in your relationship.
