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.

Satu Springer
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, MTC, RCS
Sometimes relationships just need a little bit of help. Clients who come to see me learn how to communicate with each other better and learn how to look at their roles in the relationship differently. Crisis in a relationship can mean the beginning of a deeper and more connected relationship if both people want to explore how to take the steps to get there.

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 You might find yourself repeating familiar patterns, struggling with boundaries, feeling anxious or withdrawn in connection with others, or having difficulty expressing your needs.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

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
You might be ready to change unwanted relationship patterns but aren't sure how, wanting to learn new ways of communicating, or are hoping to build more fulfilling, connected relationships. Choosing to embark in relationship counselling isn't a failure, but a vote of hope for you and your relationship. Seeking support is much easier than doing it alone. I offer relationship counselling for a wide variety of partnership dynamics - married, dating, monogamous, polyamorous, ENM, triads, families, and more. I sometimes draw on my trainings in Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method of couples therapy to support you.

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.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Relationship challenges can show up as communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, trust wounds, or feeling unseen or unheard within partnership. You may find yourselves stuck in repeating patterns, reacting from past hurts, or struggling to navigate life transitions together. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to help uncover the deeper roots of relational dynamics and attachment patterns. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports greater emotional safety, clearer communication, and a more secure and authentic connection to yourself and others.

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.

Adam Manz
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.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large East Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
