Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Choosing a Counsellor or Psychotherapist is a very personal process. It can be difficult to take that first step, even if it is not your first time in therapy. I am a Vancouver based Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Private Practice. I offer both in person and online sessions. I also offer 15 minute free telephone consults to help you decide if you feel the connection you need to enter into this very vulnerable and personal relationship.
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the BC College of Social Workers, and have my Master of Social Work (MSW) from UBC; a Bachelor of Arts (BA), in Psychology; and a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), both from McMaster University.
I have over 22 years of extensive clinical experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, families and groups. I work with all ages on any issues that are getting in the way of the client experiencing life to its fullest in the very personal way they want to live.

Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Life can become difficult when painful experiences, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or patterns that seem difficult to change begin to affect how you feel, relate to others, and move through daily life. You do not have to navigate these concerns without meaningful support. I work with adults and couples, offering a compassionate and respectful space where your experiences are taken seriously and you are understood as a whole person, rather than reduced to a diagnosis or label. Together, we can explore what may be keeping you stuck, work through painful experiences, strengthen important relationships, and develop healthier ways of moving forward. My approach combines evidence-based therapy with compassion, thoughtful exploration, and honest reflection, including but not limited to EMDR, the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Christian faith-based approaches when desired, and trauma-informed practice. My goal is to help you gain greater understanding, experience meaningful change, and move forward with greater clarity and hope.

Online Therapy in Ontario & BC
Registered Psychotherapist
Relationships can be difficult—especially when you're feeling disconnected, stuck in the same conflicts, going through a separation or divorce, or trying to rebuild after a breakup.
Therapy Helps provides online individual counselling for adults navigating relationship problems, breakups, separation and divorce, family conflict, stress, anxiety and major life changes.
Our approach is practical, collaborative and non-judgmental. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We can start with what's happening right now and work toward what you want to be different.

Simone Merkl Marriage Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
My mission is to inspire deeper appreciation, emotional connection, intimacy, and attraction in your relationship.
As a Relationship Attraction Specialist and couples counsellor, I help couples understand the deeper patterns that influence love, connection, and desire. Many couples still care deeply for each other but find themselves stuck in cycles of conflict, distance, misunderstanding, or emotional disconnection.
It is incredibly rewarding to witness couples heal old wounds, strengthen their attachment, and rediscover the partnership they once shared. I love seeing couples move from treating each other as adversaries to becoming collaborators who support, understand, and choose each other.
I believe meaningful change happens in a safe, empathetic, and authentic counselling environment. My approach combines evidence-based couples therapy with warmth, compassion, and even humour when appropriate, creating a space where couples can feel comfortable being honest, vulnerable, and real.
I help couples navigate challenges involving communication, emotional safety, trust, intimacy, attraction, and relationship patterns that may have developed over time. Together, we can create a pathway toward greater understanding, connection, and a relationship that feels alive again.
Is Fear Stealing Your Happily Ever After?
Over time, every couple faces a choice:
Fear or Faith.
Fear can create:
• Distance
• Protection
• Blame
• Control
• Resentment
Faith can create:
• Courage
• Vulnerability
• Responsibility
• Compassion
• Connection
Fear + Distance = Loss of Attraction
Faith + Connection = Restored Attraction
Discover where fear, ego, and old patterns may be blocking connection — and how emotional safety, surrender, and faith can help restore balance, intimacy, and desire.
