Real talk:
Maybe you're stuck in draining arguments with your partner, making you overthink and lose sleep. These issues affect not only affect your home life but your work and well-being.
Tired of questioning your relationship and feeling low about yourself and life?

Relationship Counselling is right for you if:

It made us reflect on our styles of communication, and brought about helpful discussions to improve our relationship. It gave us great tips to repair from our blips and move on from them more easily. It even brought on some laughs. By better understanding our differences, we were able to work through them. Thank you Alexa for planting the seeds for a closer connection

The A’s to Your Q’s
How long are individual counselling sessions?
Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes. Longer sessions can be made available upon request.
I use evidence-based methods like EMDR, Client-Centered, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. My trauma-informed approach focuses on emotions and attachment. I understand how early relationships shape adult dynamics and use emotions to break through stuck patterns, guiding you to understanding and healing.
What approaches do you use?
Do I need my partner to be in Relationship Therapy to get the benefits?
Do you offer premarital counselling?
Yes, I offer premarital counselling. I'm a big believer in early intervention, as it has the highest success rate in couples therapy. My services are tailored to your relationship stage and unique goals.
How is EMDR used in Relationship Counselling?
Relationship Counselling is for individuals aiming to work on themselves, whether it's addressing past relationships, understanding baggage and patterns, or seeking support for a current relationship without their partner. Couples Counselling is for committed partners working on their relationship together.
Relationship therapy and relationship counselling are often used interchangeably.
