How we help your relationship…

Explore your Relationship with yourself

You might have heard how your relationship with yourself is the foundation of every relationship you have. But in reality, we care more about what others think of us than evaluating and reflecting on our experiences. Think about this: When was the last time you thought about someone and when was the last time you checked in with your feelings? Treating yourself the way you want others to treat you is easier said than done. But we can help you put that into action.

In relationship therapy, you'll develop practical skills, from mindfulness techniques to self-reflection exercises, we'll explore strategies tailored to your unique needs. You'll learn how to challenge negative self-talk, cultivate self-compassion, and set healthy boundaries. Together, we'll navigate through past experiences, uncovering patterns that may be holding you back.

Explore your Relationship with Others

Positive interpersonal relationships offer us emotional support when we face life's challenges, becoming a safe harbour in times of distress. We want to be heard, understood, and supported by someone. A secure relationship gives us validation that we need for our self-esteem and self-worth.

However, when a rupture happens in a relationship, it consumes us. It disrupts our daily life. At work and at school, you have a hard time concentrating. With other friends and family members, you shut down or constantly talking about the relationship problem. You are angry, sad, and confused about what went wrong and how to fix it.

Our therapists can help you understand your relationship and put things in perspective. You’ll learn what is acceptable, what is not, what needs to be changed, and how to make the change!

What can relationship therapy address?
