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.

Michael Indermaur
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MACP, BSc
Relationships are central to how we connect with the world and those around us. Unfortunately, many cultural messages can make navigating these connections challenging. We’re often encouraged to deny our own needs or those of others, to view asking for what we need as selfish, and to carry shame and stigma around our sexuality and bodies. These dynamics can lead to feelings of avoidance, confusion, and fear.
Many people struggle with intimacy, whether due to fear or barriers like shame and stigma, and some have yet to fully explore their sexuality. As a therapist, I provide support to individuals and couples of all backgrounds, identities, and relationship styles—whether you’re queer, trans, kinky, poly/ENM, straight, married, in one-on-one partnerships, or navigating other dynamics.
My approach is deeply responsive to who you are and what your goals are. I avoid assumptions and take the time to understand the unique aspects of your relationships and experiences. From there, therapy often involves exploring key factors such as social location, shame, historical trauma, self-esteem, perceived judgment, identity, and interpersonal dynamics.
I also emphasize the importance of self-intimacy—building a deeper connection with yourself—as a foundation for creating healthy and fulfilling intimacy with others. My work is grounded in a sex and body diverse, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach.
If talking about sex or intimacy feels difficult for you, know that I'll prioritize your safety and comfort throughout the process. Therapy is a space where you can explore these topics without fear of judgment. Whether you’re looking to find new partner(s), deepen intimacy with a partner, strengthen connections with friends or family, or work through dissatisfaction in your relationships or sex life, working with a skilled relationship therapist can be the beginning of a transformative path forward.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I embrace a supportive and empathetic approach towards relationship and marriage counseling, acknowledging the unique journey each couple undertakes. By weaving together a rich tapestry of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Role-Playing, Emotional Family Therapy (EFT), and Imago Therapy, we collaboratively address the heart of relationship challenges. This integrative approach not only uncovers the roots of conflict and communication breakdowns but also nurtures a deeper connection and understanding between partners. Through these varied techniques, couples learn to navigate disputes, rebuild trust, and enhance emotional intimacy within a secure and caring space. Focusing on individual growth as a cornerstone for a healthy relationship, I guide partners towards self-awareness and mutual respect, empowering them to enrich their shared journey. My role is to facilitate this path of exploration and renewal, equipping couples with the insights and strategies necessary for a loving and resilient partnership.

Dustin Hogan - Men's Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Relationships are hard.
Our partners know how to push our buttons and us theirs. Challenges with communication are often at the root of many relationship struggles and if left unattended, can become an insidious poison within the relationship.
No matter what stage of your relationship you are in, outside support can often be the difference between things flourishing or falling apart.
