Relationship Issues Therapists in R3G

Thirty three years of counselling experience has given me expertise in all areas of counselling. I am concerned for people experiencing individual, relationship, family and anger management concerns. I work with all clients in a safe and confidential environment to help them gain wholeness and a new perspective in their lives. I also offer video counselling via Skype. People can access me from anywhere in the world. I have clients over-seas and across Canada.

I enjoy working with folks and their relationships. This includes individual support to help better relationships, healing after a break-up, and couples looking to develop a deeper connection with each other. Together we will look at what that means for you, what you view as key factors to work on, and what that work will look like. I am client-centered, strength based, and believe you are the expert in your life. I create a safe space for you and your partner to share your thoughts and come to mutually agreed upon solutions.

Perhaps thoughts, memories, or feelings about a painful event make it difficult for you to experience satisfaction in your marriage or family or to excel in roles such as parenting or socializing, or cause you to do things you do not like. Perhaps a personal, relationship or vocational situation is causing you distress, or mental health condition such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or addiction makes it difficult for you to pursue your aspirations. Or, perhaps, concerns about managing a situation, the outcome of significant events, or achieving meaningful goals make it difficult for you to fulfill important roles.

I strongly believe that human beings are wired for connection, and that difficulties in relationships (and within people) are almost always the result of misconnection or disconnection. In my work as a therapist, I explore how communication and interaction between people can be improved in order to create or repair those connections. I am a relationship specialist who works with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I am a strong social justice advocate, and I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space in the therapy room.

A safe and compassionate relationship interwoven with effective professional guidance are essential to developing new perspective and experiences, and ultimately well-being and thriving. I strive to create an optimal environment for growth by offering a balance of challenge, honesty, direct feedback, support, and humour. I will tailor treatment to your goals, personality, and needs, using a flexible approach and multiple evidence-based therapies and techniques. The therapeutic tools my clients receive, combined with the self-awareness and confidence they develop, provides them with the opportunity to reach their goals, as well as other unexpected personal benefits in the process.

There are times when we may develop thoughts and feelings about ourselves that are no longer useful, that disconnect us from who we really are and from the important people around us. If you are feeling stuck in your thoughts, feelings, or behaviours due to issues such as family conflict, relationship issues, trauma, mental health issues, loss, or addictions, therapy can help you to grow and connect with yourself and those close to you again. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or with your partner or family, my approach focuses on helping you to find more presence, compassion, and clarity in your life and relationships.

My name is Laura Lockwood. I am a clinical social worker and therapist for teenage girls and women. I am passionate about supporting women in coming to a place of self-love and seeing their worth so they can reach their dreams. As women in our current society, we are often disconnected from our internal tools and resources that naturally exist in our mind and body. Our lives are fast-paced and stressful and we often struggle with mental and physical disconnection. This opportunity will give you a chance to take time to sit with yourself in a space that is supportive so that you can learn to access and develop your inner resources.

**ONLINE AND PHONE SESSIONS AVAILABLE**Working from an attachment perspective, I believe our past and present relationships are significant. In our sessions, we will explore the difficult experiences from the past and learn about their effects on day-to-day life. Through this process, many clients come to see themselves and their relationships in a new light, which makes all the difference.
