Relationship & Attachment counselling for women in North Vancouver
We all long to feel loved, chosen, and connected. But when we're stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, love can feel confusing, painful, and all-consuming.
You may find yourself chasing emotionally unavailable partners, staying too long in relationships that hurt you, or feeling anxious and preoccupied about where you stand with someone. You may even push away caring, emotionally available partners because true intimacy feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
How Do You Know If You Need Relationship & Attachment Counselling?
Perhaps you've found yourself asking:
-
Why do I get so attached to people who aren't good for me?
-
Why am I attracted to people who don't seem interested in me?
-
Why do I constantly worry about being rejected, abandoned, or cheated on?
-
Why do I keep ending up in the same unhealthy relationship patterns?
-
Why do relationships feel so much harder for me than they seem to for other people?
Many relationship struggles are rooted in attachment wounds—experiences that taught us, often early in life, to question our worth, fear rejection, or believe that love must be earned. These wounds can show up as people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of abandonment, jealousy, anxiety, emotional withdrawal, or choosing partners who are unavailable.
Understanding Your Relationship & Attachment Patterns
Many of the women I work with know exactly where their relationship patterns come from, yet still find themselves stuck repeating them. Insight is important, but insight alone doesn't always create change.
Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, and emotional wounds that may be influencing your relationships today. As we begin to heal these underlying patterns, it often becomes easier to communicate your needs, trust yourself, establish healthy boundaries, and build more secure and fulfilling relationships.
How Relationship & Attachment Counselling Can Help
Whether you are:
• Recovering from a painful breakup or divorce
• Struggling with anxious or insecure attachment
• Feeling stuck in a toxic relationship
• Constantly worried about your partner leaving you
• Finding yourself caught in cycles of people-pleasing or over-functioning
• Avoiding relationships altogether because getting close feels unsafe
Therapy can help you make sense of what's happening and begin creating lasting change.
My work draws from approaches such as:
-
Emotion-Focused Therapy for individuals (EFT),
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). In particular, ART can help process the emotional wounds and beliefs that continue to influence current relationships, helping you move beyond awareness and toward meaningful change.
You don't have to stay stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, or fear of rejection. Together, we can help you develop a more secure relationship with yourself, heal old attachment wounds, and create healthier, more satisfying connections with others.
