Signs

What relationship concerns can feel like

Every relationship goes through hard times. It may be time to reach out when the same problems keep coming back, or you feel distant, lonely or unsure where you stand.

  • The same arguments that never get resolved
  • Feeling unheard or brushed off by your partner
  • Growing distance, like living as roommates
  • Holding back what you think to avoid a fight
  • Trust that feels broken after a betrayal
  • Less affection, touch or closeness than before
  • Tension with family, in-laws or close friends
  • Worry about whether to stay or leave

How counselling helps

What working on it together looks likeHow counselling helps

  1. Early on

    Understand the pattern

    With your counsellor, you look at what happens in your conflicts: what sets them off, how each person reacts and what needs sit underneath.

  2. As you go

    Calm hard conversations

    You practise ways to slow down when things heat up, listen without getting defensive and say what you need in words the other person can hear.

  3. Over time

    Move forward

    You decide what you want for the relationship. Then you build habits that rebuild trust and closeness, or find clarity if you are thinking about ending it.

FAQs

Common questions about relationship concerns counsellingCommon questions

Can't find your answer? Ask us a question.

  • You may want to reach out when the same problems keep coming back and talking on your own no longer helps. Some people come when trust has been hurt, and others come when they simply feel far apart. You do not need to wait until things reach a breaking point to start.

  • Yes, you can come on your own. Many people start alone to understand their own feelings, patterns and choices in a relationship. What you learn can still change how you respond at home, and your partner can join later if you both want that.

  • Yes, you can come together if that fits what you want to work on. In joint sessions, your counsellor makes sure each person has space to speak and feel heard. You decide who comes, and you can talk with your counsellor about what feels right for you.

  • The first session is mostly about getting to know you and what brought you in. Your counsellor may ask about your relationship, what is going well and what feels hard. You can share as much or as little as you like. Together you agree on what you want to focus on.

  • Yes, you can meet online from anywhere in BC, or in person in Burnaby, Vancouver or Surrey. Online sessions can make it easier for two busy people to attend, even from different places. We also offer a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video to help you choose a counsellor who fits.
