Relationship Focused Counselling
for Individuals
Real talk:
Maybe you're stuck in draining arguments, causing you to overthink and lose sleep. These issues affect not only your home life but your work and well-being.
Tired of constantly questioning your relationship and feeling low about yourself? Individual counselling can help you gain clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of your needs and desires.
Navigating relationships and learning to communicate effectively can be tough.
The good news? Relationships don’t need to be so hard.
Relationship Counselling is right for you if:
- You keep getting stuck in the same frustrating patterns in your relationships
- You often feel anxious, insecure, or unsure about where you stand
- You have a hard time setting boundaries or speaking up for what you need
- Relationship struggles leave you questioning your worth or feeling less confident
- You're going through a breakup or finding it hard to move forward
I'm here to help you figure out what's going wrong in your life and relationships, make your experiences feel okay, and support you in dealing with past baggage that is creating problems.
My goal is to help you feel confident in yourself and in your abillity to build healthy relationships.

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 working on themselves—whether to address past relationship baggage, understand patterns, or gain clarity in a current relationship.
Couples Counselling is for committed partners who want to work on their relationship together.
Relationship therapy and relationship counselling are often used interchangeably.
