Couples Counselling Therapists in Bowmanville, ON

When we’re caught in the struggle we can feel hopeless. We may notice things that use to help aren’t helping. We may have lost motivation to try, as a result of this. It’s common to get caught in the suggestions of others, or online searching for something that may help. We may not know where to start but know, we don’t want to keep feeling/thinking/living as is. Therapy services can help us find a starting point, then develop a plan and act on making change, all while supported by a regulated professional in the field.

You may be struggling with feelings of sadness, hopelessness, fear or anger. If you’re facing a crisis, or feeling like life just shouldn’t be this difficult, then you have come to the right place. You didn't cause all of your life's problems, but the good news is that you don't have to wait for anyone to repair the impact of them. I work in a gentle, compassionate and non-judgmental way to help restore balance and connection to the mind and body. Once balance is restored, relationships – whether it be with self or others – begin to improve. Restoring connection is what creates a life of fulfilment and meaning.

There are many factors in life that contribute to each individual experiencing some level of stress. This is the result of any number of unique diverse variables.

Only recently have we as a society become aware of the importance of taking the time to work on our mental health. Like physical health, improving your emotional health can take many forms.

I work with couples , parents, families, and individuals to improve communication and coping strategies. It may seem impossible to find your way in the darkest moments, but with the right, non-judgmental support and guidance, it is never too late to find and shine your inner light.

My name is Michelle and I created The Relationship Agency because I know that we all do better when we have authentic, insightful, and secure relationships. Most couples who come to me are dealing with frequent arguing, a lack of trust, and a feeling like they don't know each other at all. They wonder where the love is gone and don't know what to do. When ADHD is present, they're fighting over the mess around the house, parenting, and everything in between and living with deep stress, sadness, and anxiety. My individual clients struggle with big life questions and the impacts of ADHD, they're trying their best but underperforming.
