People in Burnaby come to us about relationships of every kind: with a partner, a parent, a grown child, a friend or a coworker. You might notice the same fight about texting or in-laws coming back each week, or feel lonely while sitting right next to someone. Some people see an old pattern repeat from one relationship to the next. You can come on your own, even if the other person is not ready to join.
You can meet a counsellor for relationship therapy in Burnaby at our offices at 7885 6th Street, on Willingdon Avenue near Lougheed, or on Production Way in East Burnaby. Sessions by video work from anywhere in BC. The free 15-minute consultation is a calm place to begin.
What relationship therapy in Burnaby looks like
The free consultation, by phone or video, gives you room to describe what is happening in your own words. After that, our intake team suggests counsellors matched to your needs, your language, your budget and how you would like to meet. In a first session, you might talk about the relationship that weighs on you most, what a hard moment between you usually looks like, and what you wish were different. You choose what to share and when.
Over later sessions, you may look at what you learned about closeness growing up, notice what sets off your reactions in a conflict, and practise saying no or asking for something without it turning into a fight. If trust was broken, you may work through the hurt at a pace that feels manageable. Relationship counselling in Burnaby can happen at one of our offices or by video, and some people later invite a partner or family member to join, if that feels right.
