You don't need both partners in the room to create profound change in your relationship dynamics. I provide specialized, individual therapy for clients navigating relationship strain, marital conflict, communication breakdowns, or the painful decision of whether to stay or leave. Please note that I work with individuals on a one-on-one basis only and do not provide sessions to couples.When you are navigating relationship or marital stress, it is incredibly easy to lose your sense of self, get caught up in chronic people-pleasing, or carry an overwhelming weight of resentment and anxiety. In our one-on-one space, we focus entirely on your well-being and patterns. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle unhelpful communication cycles, address self-doubt, and build practical mindset tools for setting firm boundaries.Because relationship disruptions, betrayal, and deep marital loneliness live as physical stress in your body, we integrate somatic tools, breathing techniques, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to safely process and release the hidden emotional material or old relational wounds you've been hanging onto for years. Whether you are navigating a divorce, coping with relationship strain alongside ADHD/neurodivergence, or looking to build deeper, healthier connections, together we will help you slow down, understand your patterns, and foster meaningful change.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Our partners are not mind readers... Yet we long for them to fill our needs? Even those needs we don't yet know that we want?! We have to know what it is, exactly, that we want and need ourselves before we have a hope of expecting our partners to fill them! We also have to ask, respectfully, in a way that they can hear. Hearing what we are truly asking is different to just listening. I will work with you to help unearth what it is that you really want and need and show you how to communicate it to your partner in such a way that they can really hear you. Easy? No. Possible? Yes! My blend of Imago and NVC has proven to be very successful.

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.

Lincoln Stoller
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CHt, CCPCP
I have had many relationships well beyond the traditional kinds. I have worked with groups and individuals as a physicist, management consultant, mountaineer, pilot, project manager, CEO, student, teacher, counselor, and therapist. In addition, I've put much effort into being a parent, lover, partner, and, most importantly, as a child of a somewhat dysfunctional but "intact" family. It is a misnomer to focus on "relationship and marriage" as a unique situation. All relationships hang on the same dynamics of honesty, transparency, integrity, and commitment. All of these exist on a spectrum, and they are most tested and demand the most in our most important relationships.
If you are weak in these skills in any relationships, then you are going to be weak in them in your most important relationships. In my experiences with couples and clients navigating relationships, personal integrity is always the key. It is up to you to decide where you draw the line in terms of commitment and disclosure, but do not expect great results in any relationship unless you hold yourself to the highest standards. Do not expect reciprocation even when you deserve it. In some sense, a good relationship is something you must define for yourself.
The fundamental problem in most relationships is that you accept a low standard. You may have never had a role model who lived to a high standard, and you may not know how to achieve a high standard. I can help you become a better person but beware: there are reasons behind who you are and what you've become. You'll have to address these reasons before you can move beyond them. That is why relationship work is difficult. Ultimately, the ball is in your court. Are you ready to raise the bar?

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.
