Serena Leung, R. Psych
Interpersonal relationships are complex and often unconsciously lived out from our early attachment histories.
How we experience love and care and boundaries or fusion can have profound effects on our intimate and family relationships.
My role is to open a safe space for you and your loved ones to explore these patterns and relational styles and to nurture love, compassion, sensitivity both to our own and others' processes as we related to one another in intimate ways.
Steve Jukes, M.Sc. in MFT, R.Psych.
We are the biological product of our parents, but are no less the emotional product of the families we come from. By better understanding the hurts, fears, and insecurities, the roles, habits, and patterns that we have brought into our romantic relationships, we are permitted to give - and get - the most out of them. By better understanding ourselves and our partners, we open up communication, foster mutual respect in relating and stronger attachment, and find that collaborative solutions to couples issues are easier to find.
Jim Chalmers, M.A.
Couples will experience increased ability to sort out conflicts and differences. They will be able to bring a greater joy in being with each other and have an increased sense of friendship. The therapy sessions will be solution focused and related to the coping strategies and the outcome of the relationship. Couples therapy relates back to the history of problems, targeting emotions and creating a agent of change.
Linda Tilley, M.Ed, R.Psych.
When faced with the challenges of everyday life, a relationship that began as loving and nurturing can start to feel draining and toxic. Instead of validating and strengthening each other, partners engage in a power struggle. It should not be surprising that this power struggle leads to loneliness rather than security, and to a loss of intimacy. In order to re-build the relationship, each partner needs to learn to take risks, to communicate directly, and to be clear about their needs and expectations in the relationship. In couple counseling I help couples to move towards more direct communication and resolution of old hurts so that safety and intimacy can be restored.
Priya Bains, M.A.
When working with couples, my focus is the "relationship". It is my goal to understand the relationship that two people have created; to explore what works and does not work in the relationship. My focus is to create awareness for a couple as to how they maintain and reinforce the existing relationship patterns that may not necessarily work. A new way of relating can then be formed once the relationship is understood. The goal in couples counselling is to create Intimacy in a relationship, yet this can only be formed with safety and vulnerability.
Nancy Hurst, Ph.D
Relationships can be very difficult and sometimes feel hopeless. They are often the source of our greatest joy and our most pain. If people are willing to grow and change relationships can be tranformed and distress can be turned into happiness. Often couples find it hard to really listen to each other, which leads to misunderstandings. In counselling couples have the opportunity to share their perspective in a controlled enviornment enabling them to get past defensivness and move to listening, understanding and healing.
Landor Liddell, M.Sc., Ph.D. (Education), Reg. Psych
No relationship is perfect, and therefore couples may seek relationship counselling as a start to healing their commitment to eachother. The relationship involved may be between members of a family or a couple, employees or employers in a workplace, or between a professional and a client. Helping couples involves identifying and reconstructing patterns of communication, conflict resolution, and decision making. Getting couples to work together is the main goal.
Mallory Becker, M.A.
Relationships can be one of the most rewarding human experiences and one of the most difficult . I work with young adult couples at various stages in their relationship. I can help you enrich your current relationship or help with problems such as conflict, arguing, lack of intimacy, communication difficulties or infidelity in a positive and safe environment. Several formats can be used including counselling individually (such as only one partner solely attending counselling or both partners individually) or couples together. Clients have the opportunity to grow individually and as a couple.
Michael Handman, Ph.D
In couple counseling I regard the clients both as two separate individuals as well as a unit. I am aware that they each bring their own fears and expectations to counseling. Together we focus on understanding the development of the problems and and the length of time these issues have been part of their relationship. Often the issues are related to lack or inappropriate communication. Using empathy and compassion and various therapeutic techniques I help the couple develop positive ways of dealing with each other in a safe environment. However, at times, we come to the conclusion that separation may be healthier for both and I help them through this very difficult process.

Couples counselling is the process of counselling for couples to gain effective tools in transcending repeating patterns of distress in their relationship. We approach therapy with the clients as solution focused couples therapy. Solution focused therapy supports the belief that change is constant and inevitable and the approach does not focus on the past, but instead therapy will focus on the present and the future. The counsellor uses techniques to invite the client to envision their preferred future relationship with their partner and then the therapist and clients start setting goals to move towards it whether these are small or gradual steps taken together by the couple and counsellor.
AnneMarie Whitton, M.Sc. (MFT)
Couples counselling presents the opportunity for two individuals to come together and share openly and honestly their deepest longings and needs. I create a space where each can share openly while the other focuses on attempting to understand while recognizing and controlling any defensiveness. Couples often have unresolved issues and working through these issues creates a space where each can see the other more clearly and less clouded by past wounds. I find that attachment issues from family of origin often impact our most intimate relationships and a part of the therapy often involves each understanding and accepting self more fully.

Arvin Simon, M.Ed., R. Psych.
My work with couples is based on the Family Systems Approach fused with aspects of experiential, interpersonal and existential therapy. I believe that both partners need to be committed to their own mental and physical health in order to have a healthy relationship. I emphasize personal responsibility, empathy, compassion, intimacy, honesty and accountability.
I will also help you understand yourself, your communication patterns and your partner better by actively creating moments of intense sharing, communication and healing practices. I help spouses move past “stuck” points by looking at the problem in a new way and getting both partners to invest in the relationship again.

I have a significant caseload of relationship therapy clients. I am comfortable with essentially any type of relationship taking place between consenting adults. I accept the orientation(s) of the parties to a relationship, and am as a rule able to come from there. If I have a bias, it is to preserve the being of the relationship, the "we" that emerges when one and another form a bond. My bias notwithstanding, I am able to assist parties to a relationship to achieve a more peaceful separation/termination when that is their choice.
Jean MacKenzie, MA, CCC

Through couples or marriage therapy, I will not only help you discover why you are having difficulties, but also assist you in finding concrete solutions. In order to build a lasting relationship you need to strive to take your relationship to new levels. I will help you develop techniques, not just for solving current problems, but for continually, propelling your relationship into one with une
Peter Fratesi, M.A.
Couples often see me as a result of differing values or view points on matters which are essential to harmony in their relationship, which can escalate and create tension, arguing and distancing between the couple. I often help couples to improve their compromising skills but also to learn how to respect and benefit from their differences, at times. Improving the couples’ skills at listening and communicating respectfully, empathetically and clearly is often important. Another important goal may be to help the couple understand one another’s needs and feelings more deeply. I utilize several different models of couples’ therapy to achieve these goals.

Every couple will ultimately experience stresses, strains, and conflict at some point in their relationship. I help couples establish a solid foundation for long-term happiness and in working through conflict(s).
