Couples Counselling Vancouver
If you and your partner face communication issues, recurring conflict, feelings of disconnection, or other relationship issues, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples can help strengthen your bond through compassionate and insightful counselling, turning challenges into opportunities for deeper connection. I also weave in Imago Relationship Therapy to enhance my approach.

What is Emotion Focused Therapy?
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is a form of couples counselling which is highly supported by research and is considered a best practice, evidence-based approach. In other words, it has an excellent success rate.
Clients work with their therapist to uncover patterns of interaction which are at the root of most of their conflict. This allows for change to occur. Some of the deep work is carried out experientially in session, leading to insights and even a transformation of the relationship.
What is Imago Relationship Therapy?
Imago relationship therapy (IRT)
For couples and relationships, I offer Imago Relationship Therapy around daily life, sex, intimacy, and more. Imago is a form of therapy useful for addressing a wide range of challenges, such as arguments, sexual issues, feeling devalued and unappreciated, or relationship break-down.
Your Path to a Deeper Connection
I help couples rediscover closeness and connection. By resolving hurts and strengthening the present bond, a brighter future is created. I focus on communication and help couples identify and resolve issues that have caused feelings of being misunderstood or unheard. My compassionate approach assists partners to understand each other better and strengthen their bond.
Vancouver Couples Counselling is for Everyone
I work with all couples, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, lifestyle, race, age, ability, and beliefs

Other Therapeutic Tools
Please know that you are welcome here, just as you are, with all of the thoughts and feelings that make you genuine and unique. I am here for whatever you bring: anxiety, grief, depression, negative experiences, and even things you can hardly talk about or say out loud. Suffering and trauma are relative, so if it matters to you... then it matters to me. I always lead with my heart, so I can easily "get it" and feel deep compassion for you, even if you are sitting with some shame, or worry about sharing your difficult story.
