Relationship Issues Therapists in Vancouver, BC
In addition, I have many years of experience working with complex and relational trauma.
The fear of making a mistake may be keeping you up at night. Is trying to be perfect causing you to freeze? You look around, and it seems so easy for everyone else that it leaves you feeling there must be something wrong with you. Feeling anxious in new situations or when trying to do our best makes sense, but you have learned to hide these feelings and to show you are confident when, inside, you feel like an imposter. You have worked so hard to get where you are and tried to control and disconnect from this anxiety and self-criticism, but now you know something needs to change. This cycle may be escalating, and I am here to help.

Working on your relationship with yourself can feel really big and overwhelming.
Many of my clients come in struggling to genuinely like themselves. They're caught in a cycle of self-criticism and self-doubt, feeling like nothing they ever do is enough. They're terrified that if they start to speak up or set a boundary, the people they love will walk away, so they don't. Their fears settle into the body, showing up as a mental spiral, a tight chest, a racing heart, until eventually they just shut down. Sometimes they can even see their patterns, but they still feel really stuck. That's where this work comes in.

Queer and trans relationships come with their own specific dynamics and they're not always easy to navigate.
Maybe you've been to therapy before and it was fine, but your queer or trans identity stayed outside the room. Like it was separate from the real issues, when actually it's the context everything else lives inside. I'm a queer counsellor and in our sessions, that context is always part of the conversation!

Relationship Issues Counsellors
What types of relationship issues can therapists help with?
Therapists who specialise in relationships work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues. Common concerns include communication problems, infidelity, intimacy difficulties, and navigating major life transitions such as marriage, parenthood, or caregiving. Family therapists may also address parent–child conflict, sibling rivalry, or other complex family dynamics.
What are the different types of therapy for relationship issues?
Relationship issues can be addressed through different types of therapy depending on whether you’re seeking help as an individual, couple, or family. In individual therapy, the focus is often on helping an individual understand how their own patterns, attachment style, and past experiences may be shaping their current relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) are three common forms of individual treatment that can help individuals understand their current relationship dynamics and improve their relationship quality. Couples therapy often uses other forms of evidence-based treatment, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or the Gottman Method. Rather than focusing on the individual, these approaches focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening emotional bonds between individuals in a relationship. Similarly, family therapy often focuses on communication but also examines how larger-scale dynamics—such as how parenting styles, generational differences, or sibling roles—may shape family relationships.
What actually happens in a therapy session for relationship issues?
The structure of a session depends on whether therapy involves one person or multiple people. In individual sessions, the focus may be on exploring personal patterns, role-playing difficult conversations, practicing listening skills, or setting goals for handling conflict. In couples or family sessions, each person is encouraged to share their perspective while the therapist helps uncover underlying emotions, highlight unhelpful interaction patterns, and guide more constructive communication.
How can I find an effective relationship therapist?
Finding a therapist who is a good fit for your needs, either for individual, couples, or family therapy, is critical to ensure effective therapy. Psychology Today’s online directory makes it easy to search for therapists who specialise in relationship issues, as well as related topics like marriage counselling. The platform offers filters to help you find a provider who fits your needs, such as gender, location, and fees. While the Psychology Today directory also offers the ability to filter by insurance type, it’s important to note that insurance may not cover many types of relationship therapy, such as couples counselling, so it’s important to inquire with your insurance plan about specific coverage details if intending to use insurance for therapy.
