You might feel overwhelmed by life's complexities and struggle with patterns tied to early experiences and family dynamics, yet you feel these alone don’t fully capture your current challenges. You seek a therapeutic space where you can address issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, and your inner critic, as well as the socio-political influences that may be limiting your potential.

There comes a point in our lives when things feel like they're getting on top of us. Strategies we relied on no longer work. Or, we feel that something is holding us back from leading a vibrant and fulfilling life. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to make sense of your life and connect with yourself in a way that will help you to heal. Different things work for different people. Some of us are used to talking about our feelings; some of us are not. Others need images, music, objects and creative ways to help us capture an experience and connect with deeper feelings. I tailor my approach to the person I am with.

If you are reading this then you probably have a feeling that talking to someone right now is important. Therapy is a way to explore what may seem difficult in your life at this point. You may not even know what it is that feels 'off' and that's ok; therapy can be used to explore that sense of unease, or lack of connection.

How does relational therapy work?

Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.

Is relational therapy evidence-based?

Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioural or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioural therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.

How long are people typically in relational therapy?

Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.

Does relational therapy work?

While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
