Whether you're are seeking support for personal growth, navigating life’s challenges, deepening emotional resilience, or tending to your relational well-being, our team is here to support you.
Our approach to counselling is client-centred and humanistic.
We welcome you as you are - with the good, the bad, and the messy. There is no judgment here.
Grounded in the therapeutic alliance as the foundation for our work, we offer empathy, active listening, and a safe, and supportive environment for your growth and transformation.
With a focus on the mind-body connection, our team integrates evidence-based practices such as CBT and DBT, along with somatic techniques and mindfulness, all through a trauma-informed lens.
We collaborate with you to explore your unique needs and goals, determine how we can best support you, and co-create a path forward using approaches and interventions that align with your personal healing.
With a positive, open-minded perspective, we bring a blend of clinical expertise and holistic wellness-oriented care to support meaningful, lasting change.
At Relation Matters, we offer a compassionate space for couples to deepen connection, navigate challenges, and grow together. Drawing from evidence-based approaches and holistic principles, our sessions are designed to support open communication, emotional attunment, and shared understanding. Whether you're in crisis, feeling stuck, or simply seeking more intimacy and clarity, we’re here to walk alongside your relationship journey - supporting both you as individuals and your partnership as a whole.
We work with a diverse range of couples, including those navigating long-term partnerships, new relationships, parenting transitions, life after infidelity, and communication breakdowns. We welcome all identities and relationship structures, including LGBTQIA+ couples, intercultural partnerships, and blended families.
Personal Sessions as a Foundation
Before beginning couples counselling, each partner is encouraged to participate in 2–4 individual sessions. These one-on-one sessions offer a private space to share your personal story, background, and lived experience. They help build trust and connection with your counsellor, ensuring your voice is heard and respected. This foundation allows us to better understand your unique needs and perspectives, setting the stage for more meaningful and effective work as a couple.
Coaching at Relation Matters is a collaborative partnership rooted in curiosity, deep listening, and creating space for your unique journey.
Our philosophy is simple: we believe you already hold the answers within you. Our role is to help you uncover them through meaningful dialogue, active listening, and compassionate regard for your present experience. With support and accountability, we walk alongside you as you navigate your path forward.
The process is co-creative - there’s no pressure to figure it all out alone. Through our gentle inquiries and sustained presence, paired with your innate wisdom and insight, we’ll explore possibilities together.
In your first session, we’ll clarify your area of focus, discuss your goals, and begin to curate a plan to support meaningful progress. You’ll experience our approach firsthand: a space where you do most of the talking while we ask thoughtful, reflective questions that invite curiosity and self-discovery.
This is your time to explore, reflect, and uncover insights that resonate with your whole being. Together, we’ll shape a pathway to help you take aligned action toward what matters most to you.
For optimal results, we recommend committing to a 12-week journey.
If you’re feeling curious or are still in the contemplation phase, we invite you to reach out - let’s connect and see if we’re a good fit to walk this path together.
Join us for a guided breathwork session designed to support the release of stored stress, tension, and unprocessed emotions held in the body (soma). Through intentional breathing, we create space for deep release, nervous system regulation, and embodied healing.
Following the breath work practice, we’ll integrate the experience together through compassionate, person-centred reflection. This integration process supports deeper self-awareness, co-regulation, and a felt sense of connection - helping you return to a state of clarity, ease, and inner alignment. It’s a powerful reset for the mind, body, and spirit.
This somatic offering is paired with traditional talk therapy and is available to clients who have been engaged in ongoing work with us for a minimum of four sessions.
