Couples & Family Counselling

Relationships are where we grow, heal, and sometimes feel the most challenged. Whether you are navigating conflict, disconnection, life transitions, or changes within your family system, couples and family counselling offers a space to slow things down, understand one another more deeply, and rebuild emotional safety.

At Glow Mental Health, couples and family therapy is grounded in the belief that most struggles are not about one person being “the problem,” but about patterns that develop in relationships over time. Therapy helps uncover what sits underneath conflict, withdrawal, or misunderstanding, and creates space for more compassion, clarity, and connection.

For couples, therapy can support you in:

  • Improving communication and emotional understanding

  • Rebuilding trust and intimacy

  • Navigating conflict in healthier ways

  • Adjusting to major life transitions such as parenthood, fertility challenges, or health changes

  • Feeling more like a team again

  • Breaking out of cycles of disconnection, resentment, or avoidance

Family counselling creates space to explore:

  • Changing family dynamics

  • Parent-child relationships and attachment

  • Intergenerational patterns

  • Communication challenges

  • Emotional regulation within the family system

  • Transitions such as illness, loss, separation, or blended families

Family therapy is especially helpful when:

  • Tension or misunderstanding feels persistent

  • Communication feels stuck or reactive

  • One member’s struggles are impacting the whole system

  • You want to strengthen emotional connection and safety

I work from an integrative and relational approach, drawing from Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based work, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based modalities. For couples, I am trained in Gottman and EFT.

Couples and family counselling is not about assigning blame. It is about understanding each person’s emotional experience and learning how to respond to one another with greater care, clarity, and intention.

Therapy can help you:

  • Feel heard and understood

  • Develop healthier ways of relating

  • Create stronger emotional bonds

  • Increase empathy and emotional resilience

  • Build a family environment rooted in safety and connection

Relationships are living systems. They shift, stretch, and evolve. With support, they can become places of healing, growth, and renewed closeness.

At Glow Mental Health, couples and family counselling is a space where relationships are honored, communication is strengthened, and connection is rebuilt with compassion and respect.
