Relational and embodied therapy offers a space to better understand yourself, your patterns in the world, and your relationships, helping you to get to know yourself better, work through emotional challenges with the aim of leading a more fulfilling life.

While many people seek counselling or psychotherapy when they experience relationship or emotional difficulties, therapy can also benefit those who are simply curious about themselves and wish to engage in personal growth. Just as exercise strengthens the body, therapy nurtures the mind. It can help you feel more alive, think more flexibly, build emotional resilience, and improve your relationships.

​

Individual therapy typically takes place once a week, at a set time and place, and can be:

​

• Short-term (6 to 12 sessions): More structured and focused on resolving a specific issue or situation.

• Long-term (a few months to a few years): A deeper exploration of more ingrained or historical difficulties

• Couples counselling is generally short-term, usually lasting 6 to 8 sessions.
