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.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
We are relational creatures and we live all our lives relationally. Our first and foremost relationship to self and then with others we call family, friends, partners or coworkers. Working on our relationships promises a life more fulfilled and more integrated.

I am trained in Gottman therapy. I offer science-backed interventions that get to the root of an issue. Drawing from decades of research, we'll identify the unique dynamics and communication patterns in your relationship. Through structured exercises and interventions, we'll work to enhance your friendship, intimacy, and shared meaning. You'll learn practical skills for effective communication, conflict resolution, and building trust. Together, we'll explore your strengths as a couple and address areas of concern with empathy and understanding. By fostering greater connection and emotional attunement, we'll lay the foundation for a stronger, more resilient partnership that can weather life's challenges with grace and unity.

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 You might find yourself repeating familiar patterns, struggling with boundaries, feeling anxious or withdrawn in connection with others, or having difficulty expressing your needs.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

Transversality Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors
Our identities are socially constructed so it is our relationship with our significant others. Exploring and getting to know each other deeply can clear the space for a healthy relationship. Clear expectations, healthy boundaries and compassionate communication are stepping stones for a shared life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
