Couples Counselling and Relationship Therapy

Improve communication and connection within your relationship in a safe space. Together, we will examine patterns of behaviour, thoughts, and emotions from an attachment-based perspective.

The goal is to reconnect, value each other's way of thinking, and commit to building a healthy, resilient relationship that feels authentic to you.

  • At Watermark, the first step during couples/relationship therapy is to get to know you and gather information about your relationship history and current issues. We will work with you to establish a shared understanding of problem areas and set goals together. While we may provide initial suggestions, it is a priority to establish a framework where each person feels safe and can trust they will be seen, heard, and valued without judgement or criticism.

    If there is a relationship issue you would prefer to discuss without your partner or family member present, we can support you during an individual therapy session.

OUR APPROACH

Our experienced counsellors take an empathetic and evidence-based approach to therapy.

  • Empathetic Therapy: Feel heard and valued

    Successful therapy is possible when you and your therapist make a true connection. That's why empathy is at the core of our counselling. By forming strong, authentic bonds without any judgement, our clients feel seen, heard, valued, and safe.

  • Evidence-Based: Informed by scientific research

    Our therapists possess a deep understanding of human psychology and mental health. To inform our work, we stay current on modern literature, academic journals, and scientific research. Ongoing training and education is a priority.

  • Experience: Counselling for ~20 years

    With a solid reputation, educational background, and experience in the mental health field, we have helped clients see positive changes in their mental health for nearly 20 years.
