Julie Chang, Flourishing Hearts Psychotherapy & Counselling Services Inc.
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Every single one of my clients will agree that navigating relationships is one of the hardest areas in their lives to tackle. Social nuances and interpersonal relations are tricky, especially in the cultural mosaic we are in right now. Having someone with you to work through communication challenges and social engagements can be reassuring and help you feel safe enough to address the person you would like to connect with, be it your spouse, partner, friend, family, or co-worker.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we offer couples therapy for romantic partnerships of all kinds, welcoming clients across the full spectrum of gender identity, sexual orientation, and relationship structure, because we believe that every couple deserves a counselling space that reflects who they actually are. Whether partners are navigating infidelity, recurring conflict, intimacy issues, major life transitions, or simply a quiet sense of disconnection that is hard to name, our therapists are trained to move beyond surface-level communication strategies and uncover the deeper emotional roots of relational struggle. Drawing on emotionally focused therapy and a dynamic, client-centered approach, research shows that 70% of couples who engage in this kind of work experience positive outcomes, and our goal is to help partners feel truly known, securely connected, and capable of building the relationship they came here to find.

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.

I offer a calm, practical space for couples to address communication breakdowns, conflict, intimacy, or trust issues. I combine empathetic listening with concrete tools—improving dialogue, rebuilding connection, and resolving patterns that keep you stuck. Working together, we’ll clarify needs, set realistic goals, and practice skills that help you relate with more honesty, respect, and closeness. I’ll support you both with a balanced, solution-focused approach that honors your relationship’s strengths while guiding constructive change.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Relationship challenges can show up as communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, intimacy concerns, trust issues, or feeling unseen and unheard by your partner. You may find yourselves repeating the same arguments, struggling to express your needs, navigating differences, or feeling distant despite wanting to reconnect.
My approach to couples counselling is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. Together, we explore the patterns underlying your conflict, build emotional understanding, and develop healthier ways to communicate and navigate challenges. The goal is to foster greater clarity, emotional safety, rebuild connection, and help you feel more secure and understood in your relationship.

Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
Relationships are living systems that require care, communication, and understanding. Whether you are looking for a relationship or are within one, I provide a supportive space in which we can explore patterns, strengthen emotional connection, repair ruptures, and build more conscious, fulfilling relationships. Please note that at this time, I only see individuals who are wanting to work on their relationships, and not couples.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Relationship difficulties can bring up some of our deepest patterns around closeness, trust, conflict, boundaries, and self-worth. I work individually with adults who want to better understand how they show up in romantic relationships or marriage, whether they are struggling with recurring conflict, disconnection, people-pleasing, jealousy, resentment, or uncertainty about what they need. Rather than focusing on changing your partner, our work explores your own emotional and relational patterns with curiosity and compassion. Through mindfulness and relational awareness, we can help you communicate more clearly, set healthier boundaries, and make more intentional choices about the relationships you want to create.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
In relationships, it's common for people to have different ways of communicating. Sometimes these differences can be fun and exciting. Other times, as relationships progress, these communication differences can cause misunderstandings and lead to tensions and conflict. You may also find that communication strategies that were once helpful can start to be ineffective and cause problems.
Using Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for couples, we will work on identifying times of conflict, identifying how and where the miscommunications occurred and conflict increased, and develop skills for both partners to be able to more effectively communicate with each other.
