 How relationship counselling works

  • Some of the reasons you might start relationship counselling:

    • You might be feeling stuck in the same patterns and cycles of conflict

    • You might be looking for some support around sex and intimacy

    • There might be a big life transition that you're looking for support with

    • You might be hoping to improve your relationship

    • Research in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) has shown that counselling is effective and improves relationships in 8 to 20 sessions.

    • The length of therapy depends on your goals and needs. Throughout therapy this is something that we will have ongoing conversations about and we will determine a length that feels best for you.

  • Relationship counselling provides opportunities to:

    • Identify and shift negative and painful cycles

    • Help you explore and understand the impact of the past on your current relationship

    • Develop healthy communication strategies with your partner.

    • Virtual appointments available anywhere in Ontario

    • In-person appointments located at Work in Progress Mental Health Collective: 1304 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON (near Dundas and Dovercourt)
